Club career
A product of FC Barcelona's youth ranks, Cristóbal was born in Priego de Córdoba, Andalusia, and he made his professional debuts in 1987–88, being regularly used as the Catalans lifted the season's Copa del Rey. Subsequently, he represented Real Oviedo and CD Logroñés, where solid displays earned him a return to the Camp Nou.
Cristóbal was scarcely played in his second stint, and returned to Oviedo: in the subsequent nine campaigns (three plus six at Barça neighbours RCD Espanyol) he rarely missed a game, and left Spain in 2001 with 454 La Liga appearances to his credit. Aged 34, he still moved to Paris Saint-Germain FC, having two respectable Ligue 1 seasons before retiring at the end of 2002–03.
After a brief spell with former club Espanyol as director of football, Parralo joined countryman Quique Sánchez Flores at S.L. Benfica's coaching staff, for 2008–09. Midway through the campaign, he returned to his country and signed with lowly PD Santa Eulàlia in the third division, being one of two managers in a relegation-ending season.
In June 2009, Parralo signed a one-year contract with second level's Girona FC. He was sacked in late October, with the team ranking penultimate with just seven points in nine matches.
International career
Cristóbal earned six caps for Spain, the first in a friendly in Oviedo with Uruguay, on 4 September 1991.
