After emerging through Rayo Vallecano's youth system, de la Vega went on to play with amateur sides RSD Alcalá and AD Alcorcón, also from hometown Madrid, until well into his 20's.
He did not have his first taste of full professional football (he had only played one match with Rayo's first team in 2002–03's La Liga, one minute) until 2008–09 when, after returning to Rayo in the previous year, he was fairly used as the club easily retained its Segunda División status.
In late December 2009, unsettled de la Vega was loaned to another side in the second level, SD Huesca, until the end of the season.
In February 2009, de la Vega was arrested in connection with an anti-drug operation in the Spanish capital.[1]
After eight days, he paid €30.000 in order to be released from custody.[2] Predrag Stanković, former footballer – three years in Hércules CF – and a player's agent, was also involved in the plot, among others.
