Mabel is an accomplished dubbing artist, teacher and dubbing director in Spain. In her work she has dubbed actresses such as Joan Crawford or Bette Davis and as a curiosity, she provided voice for Telecinco's first cartoon series, Las Montañas de Ana, when the private network was born.

Mabel is one of the fifteen protagonists of Contra el tempo (2012), the documentary produced by Carlos Taillefer about Spanish supporting actors of the sixties and seventies.

A successful career in theater in the 1970s deprived Mabel of important job offers, including a Chevrolet advertisement.

Mabel founded a theater company at the beginning of the 80s and financed a political play directed by Fernando Fernán Gómez. But the premiere of the play coincided with 23-F (an attempted coup d'état that occurred on February 23, 1981) and that made the play a great failure.

Mabel provided the Spanish voice for Didi from the popular cartoon series The Rugrats.
