Playing career Born in Marín, Pontevedra, Galicia, Bastón began his career with Atlético Madrid, appearing for their reserve side in the Segunda División.

Bastón played the first of his ten games in the Spanish top flight on 2 September 1990, in a 1–0 home win against Cádiz. In the summer of 1994, after the club dropped two levels in just two years, subsequently folding, the 33-year-old joined Chaves of the Portuguese Primeira Liga, retiring at the end of the 1994–95 campaign.
