Fanny Garrido was born in A Coruña in 1846, to military doctor Francisco González Garrido del Amo and Josefa García Cuenca.[2] She married the composer Marcial del Adalid, who musicalized many of her poems. In 1873 she gave birth to their daughter, María del Adalid, who became a noted painter.[3] After the death of her husband, Garrido married Lugo chemist José Rodríguez Mourelo [es].[2]

She contributed to the Madrid newspapers Galicia and El Correo,[4] writing under the pseudonym Eulalia de Liáns.[5] The most notable of her works is the autobiographical novel Escaramuzas, published in 1885,[5] which she dedicated to her friend Emilia Pardo Bazán (with whom she had co-founded the Galician Folklore Society in 1884).[2] She was also a translator of the German poets Heinrich Heine and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.[2][6]
