Isco was born in Benalmádena, Málaga, Andalusia. A product of Valencia CF's youth system, Isco made his debut with the first team on 11 November 2010, against UD Logroñés for the season's Copa del Rey, scoring two goals in a 4–1 home win (7–1 on aggregate).[2] Previously, he spent one full season with the reserves in Segunda División B, netting once in 25 games and suffering relegation.
Isco played his first La Liga match on 14 November 2010, playing 20 minutes in a 2–0 home win against Getafe CF, after replacing Aritz Aduriz.[3] In mid-July 2011, after helping the B-team return to the third level by scoring 15 goals, he signed a five-year contract with Málaga CF, after they activated his buy-out clause of €6 million.[4]
Isco scored his first goal for his new club on 21 November 2011, starting in a 3−1 away win against Racing de Santander.[5] He netted again the following week in a 2−1 win against Villarreal CF,[6] and finished his first season with 32 games and five goals as the Andalusians qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history.
On 18 September 2012, in Málaga's first game in the Champions League group stage, Isco netted twice in a 3–0 home win over Zenit Saint Petersburg, also being chosen as Man of the Match.[7] On 22 December he scored the first goal in an eventual 3–2 win against Real Madrid at La Rosaleda, leading the locals to their first victory over that opponent in 29 years.[8]
On the 28 January 2013, Isco ended speculation regarding his future by signing a new contract with Malaga. His new buyout clause has been set at €35 million.[9]
Isco appeared with Spain's U17 in 2009 FIFA World Cup, scoring three times in the process as Spain finished third. In 2011 he represented his country – together with Málaga team mate Recio – in the U-20 World Cup held in Colombia, netting one goal in an eventual quarterfinal exit.
On 28 February 2012 Isco was called to the Spanish U23s for a friendly against Egypt, but did not leave the bench.[10] On 15 May he was picked for the first time to the senior team for friendlies with Serbia and South Korea, but took no part in either match.

Alarcón is a municipality in Cuenca, Castile-La Mancha, Spain. It has a population of 182.
In 1177 Ferren Martínez de Ceballos led the Christian forces which captured Alarcón - then an important fortress - from the Almohads. In gratitude, King Alfonso VIII of Castile gave him the name "Alarcón", which was borne over centuries by his descendants, among them the noted 16th century dramtist Juan Ruiz de Alarcón.

Throwing crosses on our skin, we saved ourselfs
Settin' my standard, teach your trends
through the dirt all in your ears
and all the dead dogs of hell they cross our veins, remain afraid
and the emptyness we feel it cuts the pain, torch the plains
Throwing crosses on our skin, I saved Myself
Failing up and dropping in, though the truth all in your breath
And all the tiretracks we lead across the back remain the same.
In the hollow sound to blacken clouds relieve your saggy taste
And I know i never promised a thing
And surrender aint a part of your game
But hunny i aint taking the blame.
You were the wind that set sail in my sin.
Worry for the best, for concequence
And take just what i need.
10 thousand feet, forfill your creep
Ill bring you to your knees
And I know i never promised a thing
And surrender aint a part of your game
But hunny i aint taking the blame.
