Calixto García de Luna e Izquierdo was born in Soria, Castile, somewhere around 1768. He went to Valencia, Venezuela, where he was a merchant. There he married María de los Ángeles González, said to be the daughter of an indigenous chief (Hija de Cacique). They had numerous children, both boys and girls.
After the defeat, where he lost one arm, he went to Cuba with the rest of Spanish army. His son Ramón García González was the father of the Ten Year War, the Guerra Chiquita and Second War of Independence hero General Calixto García Íňiguez. Some have speculated with reason, but without apparent evidence, that Ramón was his middle name, which he could have written as was custom of the time as C. Ramón García de Luna e Izquierdo, and that he was the Ramón García who officered Spanish troops at Carabobo. Another theory is that he was related to Spanish military leader Manuel García de Luna.
Much mystery surrounds Calixto García de Luna e Izquierdo. It is not understood why he left his wife and daughters in Venezuela and why he arrived in Cuba in 1831 about ten years after the Carabobo defeat. It is known by court documents that his son Ramón García González bitterly opposed his grandson's (Calixto García Íñiguez) marriage to Isabel Velez Cabrera; perhaps because Isabel did not have personal fortune, and she was born in the Taíno town of Jiguani.
Given Calixto García de Luna's apparently newly learned independentist leanings which put him in jail, some have speculated he had become changed by the war. Given that both he and Narciso López were neighbors in Valencia, Venezuela and both were originally members of the Spanish Armies who turned against Spanish rule, it is possible that he conspired with Narciso López in López's failed attempts to throw the Spanish out of Cuba. However, for some unknown reason, Lopez decided to make his last landing in Western Cuba, rather than in the more mountainous eastern end of the Island where the Calixto García de Luna had settled.

Relations between Cuba and Venezuela were established in 1902. The relationship was aggravated by the Cold War, with Venezuela tending to side with the United States, while Cuba was a loyal ally of the Soviet Union. A destabilizing factor was the alleged Cuban support for the antigovernment guerrilla force that operates in remote rural areas. In 1999 the bilateral relation significantly improved during the Presidency of Hugo Chávez. Chávez formed a major alliance with Cuban president Fidel Castro and significant trade relationship with Cuba since his election in 1999. The warm relationship between the two countries continued to intensify. After decades of close ties in the Caribbean, several governments in the region started to distance from the United States.
