Francisca Javiera Ruiz de Larrea y Aherán (1775–1838), better known as Frasquita Larrea, was a Spanish writer who largely influenced the famous romantic gatherings "del Cádiz de las Cortes".

[1] Francisca Javiera Josefa Gregoria Ruiz de Larrea y Aherán was born on 24 December 1775 in Cadiz, Spain.

[2] Around 1790, in Cadiz, she met the German Hispanist Johann Nikolaus Böhl de Faber, (1770–1836), who was settled in the area, and they agreed to marry by the Catholic rite.

Francisca Javiera Josefa Gregoria Ruiz de Larrea y Aherán mainly wrote short prose and left many unpublished writings and memoirs that have later been transcribed by Antonio Orozco in his book called "La gaditana Fransquita Larrea, the First Spanish Romantic".

She wrote her "Bornos Diaries" in the summer house, which was owned by Thomas Osborne Mann, her son-in-law.
