He was born in the Americas to Spanish parents and returned with his family to Spain when he was only six years old. Even though he was only a little boy when he left the Americas, his love for the country of his birth was so strong that he abandoned a brilliant military career in Spain to join his countrymen in the war for independence. Dulce María Loynaz, who has been called “The Lady of the Americas,” lived in the 20th century and is one of the most prominent Cuban poets. In addition to being a writer, she was a lawyer and a journalist. Loynaz was also a tireless traveler, and a dog lover. Her fascinating literary work made her deserving of important awards such as the Cuban National Price for Literature and the Miguel de Cervantes Prize.

Además de escritora, fue abogada, periodista, viajera incansable y una gran amante de los perros, que siempre la acompañaron a lo largo de su vida.
