He began his political career in 1886 when he obtained a certificate of election in Cabra (Córdoba) for the Liberal Party. Sagasta won this seat in the constituency of Córdoba on behalf of the Liberals in successive elections until 1901. In 1902, along with Antonio Maura, he went over to the Conservative Party. He continued to receive the certificate of election for Cordoba in consecutive elections until 1918. His brother Antonio Barroso Castillo also contested elections in the province.
