Leonor was the daughter of Isabel Cuevas and Ceferino Izquierdo, sergeant of the Guardia Civil.[1] Antonio Machado agreed with Isabel Cuevas to get married with Leonor.[2] At 10:00 am on 30 July 1909 they got married at the Iglesia de Santa María la Mayor.[3] Leonor caught tuberculosis, he went to Soria to get rest and died on 1 August 1912.[4] After her death, Machado's friend visited her grave to put the next poem:[5]

Con los primeros lirios
y las primeras rosas de las huertas,
en una tarde azul sube al Espino,
al alto Espino donde está su tierra
