There, he taught Greek language, literature, and history at the Instituto Pedagógico, and played a central role in establishing Byzantine and Neo-Hellenic studies in the region. Malleros published several pioneering works in Spanish on Byzantine history and culture, including Historia Bizantina (1949) and El Imperio Bizantino 395‑1204. Historia, Cultura y Derecho (1951).
