Pavón collaborates with the University of Barcelona's Claustra project ''. Atlas of female spirituality in the Middle Ages''. This project was born in 2004 with the aim of cataloging and geographically positioning the monasteries of medieval women, existing from the beginning of the Middle Ages until the middle of the 16th century. As a result of this collaboration, "Silence keep in claustra. Monacato feminine in medieval Navarra", a cartography of the female Navarrese monacatos has been published.
