She has lived in Madrid since the age of 19, but always maintained strong emotional and cultural ties with Galicia.[3] She studied the first courses of Philosophy and Letters at the University of Santiago de Compostela and graduated in Romance philology at the Complutense University of Madrid. She obtained her doctorate in 1971, with an extraordinary prize, with a thesis on the poetry of Rosalía de Castro, "Visión del mundo y estilo en la obra poética de Rosalía de Castro".[4]
As a professor of Spanish literature at the Complutense University of Madrid, Mayoral performed many analyses of contemporary poetry and prose, and published numerous works of research and literary criticism, among which the studies on Rosalía de Castro, Emilia Pardo Bazán, and Valle Inclán stand out.[5] She has collaborated with La Voz de Galicia since 1990. She was co-director of the Biblioteca de Escritoras collection by Editorial Castalia and directed the Relatos collection by Editorial Edhasa and the Club de Clásicos collection by Grupo SM.[6]
The action of most of Mayoral's novels takes place in "Brétema", an imaginary place in Galicia. Several of her novels have been translated into German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Catalan and Chinese.[7]
In 2017, Mayoral was chosen as an honorary academic of the Royal Galician Academy.[8]
