2018 was a break-through year for Tarrío. He won two events on the Alps Tour, the Gösser Open and the 72-hole Open International de la Mirabelle d'Or, was joint runner-up twice and led the Order of Merit, to gain a place on the Challenge Tour for 2019.[9][10][11]

Tarrío played on the 2019 Challenge Tour. His best finish was a tied for 4th place at the Open de Bretagne and he finished the season 63rd on the Order of Merit.[12] On the shorterned 2020 Challenge Tour, Tarrío had a fourth-place finish at the Dimension Data Pro-Am in South Africa and finished the season with a runner-up finish at the Challenge Tour Grand Final, ending the season 7th on the Order of Merit.[12]

Tarrío won his first Challenge Tour event in June 2021, winning a three-man playoff for the D+D Real Czech Challenge.[13] The following week he was third at the Challenge de Cádiz and his second win a week later at the Challenge de España.[14][15] In August 2021 he finished solo third at the Hero Open, a European Tour event, after birdies at two of the last three holes.[16]
