María Cristina del Pino Segura Gómez was born on 6 November 1931 in the neighborhood of Guanarteme (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria).

[3] During her childhood, she recalled that one night in which the "troupe Segura" traveled from Cádiz to the Seville Fair, the truck overturned and her sister Esther was killed.

[6] She would soon fracture her skull again, her hands three times, and had to undergo foot surgery to raise her toes since they curved from the frequent contact with the trapeze, 12 to 16 meters above the ground.

[6] In addition to the circus performances, Pinito del Oro found time to publish some novels: Born for the Circus (Nacida para el circo), The Eve (La víspera) and The Italian (El italiano).

"[10] Pinito del Oro died on 25 October 2017 at her home in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria at the age of 85.
