Football career
Born in Santa Olalla del Cala, Huelva, Andalusia, Vázquez first played professionally in the second division, with CF Extremadura and CD Tenerife, for a total of seven years. In the 2001–02 season, whilst with the former, he scored a career-best six goals in 39 games but saw his team get relegated.
For the 2006–07 campaign, Vázquez joined Recreativo de Huelva, freshly promoted to La Liga, going on to be an undisputed first-choice for his hometown club: he never played in less than 29 matches during his tenure, precisely when the side was relegated from the top level at the end of 2008–09.
In late June 2011, aged 31, Vázquez left Recre and signed with Deportivo de La Coruña for two years. He spent his first season nursing a serious leg injury, but still contributed with 1,029 minutes in 12 starts to help the team return to the top flight after only one year.
