He was born on the island of Cuba, the son of Spanish parents, Genaro Gutiérrez, a tobacco storekeeper, who became mayor of Pinar del Río and, anticipating Spanish legislation at the time, abolished slavery on his farm, and Casimira Cossío and wed.
They remained there until 1909, when they moved to the capital, Santander.
