He began his career working in the theater. With some fellow actors he founded the T.E.I. (Independent Experimental Theatre), directed by Miguel Narros.
Galirado made his film debut in the leading role in Julio Diamante's film El arte de vivir (The Art of Living) (1965).[2] In the next sixteen years he appeared in more than fifty motion pictures, becoming one of the most popular romantic lead actors of Spanish films thanks in great part to his matinee idol good looks. Among his film of this period are notable his performances in Carlos Saura's Stress es tres, tres (Stress is three, three) (1968), Vicente Aranda's Clara es el precio (Clara is the Price) (1974), and two films by Jaime Camino: Mañana será otro dia (Tomorrow is another day) (1966) and La campanada (Pealing of the Bells) (1980).[2]
In 1981, Galiardo went to Mexico where he lived for five years, appearing in secondary roles in Mexican films as well as in popular television dramas.[2] In 1982 he received the Heraldo award as best actor
In 1986, he returned to Spain continuing his acting career, but he also became involved in film production.[2] With his own production company, Penélope Films, he produced the T.v series Turno de oficio and films like El disputado voto del señor Cayo, a film directed by Antonio Giménez-Rico.
With his work in Turno de oficio, Galirado began to break away of from his previous image of leading-man, accepting more dramatic roles and showing a wider range in this the third phase of his career.
