Málaga was born Clorinda Mercedes Málaga Bravo in Lima, the daughter of Fermín Málaga Santolalla and Clorinda Bravo Bresani. Her father was a mining executive and state official. She was educated at the Colegio del Sagrado Corazón Sophianum in Lima, with further studies in England and France.
Málaga began a relationship with Manuel Prado Ugarteche in the 1930s. They married in 1958,[1][2] after he arranged for Pope Pius XII to grant a controversial annulment for his first marriage of over forty years.[3][4] She served as First Lady for four years, accompanying Prado on state visits abroad, including a 1960 visit to France,[5] and 1961 visit to the White House during the presidency of John F. Kennedy.[6][7] She was considered a stylish and photogenic companion to the president.[8][9] When Prado's government was overthrown by a military coup, she went into exile with him in Paris.[10][11]
Málaga de Prado was widowed when her husband died in Paris in 1967. A barriada (squatter settlement) in Lima was named for her in the 1960s.[12] She died in Lima in 1993, aged 88 years.
