She was born in the Royal Palace of Madrid and was the second daughter of Queen Isabel II and her husband Francis of Spain, although her paternity remains unclear, as does that of her other siblings.

María de la Paz married in Madrid, on April 2, 1883, with Prince Louis Ferdinand of Bavaria, her cousin.
They had three children :

• Infante Ferdinand of Spain, Prince of Bavaria (1884-1958), born in Madrid and settled permanently in Spain in 1905. He married Maria Teresa, daughter of Alfonso XII and his cousin.

• Prince Adalbert of Bavaria (1886-1970). Married Countess Augusta of Seefried and had two sons; lived in Germany.

• Princess Pilar of Bavaria (1891-1987), unmarried. She worked as a painter.

María de la Paz died in 1946 in Nymphenburg shortly after falling down some stairs. She is buried in Germany.
