In the 1989 Vuelta a España while racing the Stage 15 Time trial Farfán finished in third this was enough to put him into the lead of the race by 2 seconds to eventual winner Pedro Delgado.[2] Farfán's biggest win of his career was Stage 18 of the 1990 Vuelta a España which he won ahead of teammate and fellow Colombian Fabio Parra.[3] This victory would move Farfán up to 6th overall, he would lose time in the remaining stages to finish eleventh at the end of the Vuelta.[4] He did end up winning the Mountains classification for most mountain points that year.[5]
