Luis Castañares was born on July 13, 1925 in Mexico City, Mexico, into wealth, but his family lost its fortune in 1934.
Spota left school to support himself with a variety of jobs.
Spote supported himself with a variety of jobs, including brief stints as a bullfighter, seaman, waiter, and encyclopedia salesman. He eventually obtained work as an office boy at a weekly magazine in Mexico and thus began his journalism career. Spota worked for several Mexican newspapers, developing the brash, sometimes sensational journalistic style that would also characterize his novels.
Spota also directed several action films and the anthology film "Love in Four Times", starring Arturo de Córdova, Marga López, Jorge Mistral, Silvia Pinal and Ariadne Welter. He was president of Mexico Boxing and Lucha libre Commission from 1959 until the day of his death in 1985.
Luis Spota was one of Mexico’s most popular and prolific novelists. Though his works sometimes met with mixed reviews, he three times won the City of Mexico Prize, one of the country’s highest literary honors, and his novels are widely read in his country. He was the first President of the World Boxing Council from February 1963 to September 1968.
Spota described himself as a political leftist.
