Gallego started her television career playing a minor role in the Galician series Pratos combinados, aired on the regional broadcaster TVG.[6] She also performed guest roles in Policías, en el corazón de la calle,[6] as well as in El comisario.[7] In 2000, Gallego landed a main cast role in the popular series Periodistas,[6][2] playing Claudia, an intern working at the editorial office of Crónica, the fictional newspaper the series was centered on.[2] She later played roles in Hospital Central and Lobos [es],[7] early cancelled because of low audience ratings.
She had her debut in a feature film with her performance in the 2007 drama Concursante (2007), in which she starred together with Leonardo Sbaraglia.[7][8]
The breakthrough role consolidating her acting career was her performance in the adventure television series Águila Roja,[5] aired on La 1.
