In the 1950s he moved to Mexico, and when he came back to Spain he appeared in spaghetti westerns such as Gli eroi di Fort Worth (1965) by Martin Herbert, and Django (1966) by Sergio Corbucci. In 2002, he founded Teatro sin barreras in Almeria, in order to help people with disabilities. He started the Almeria Walk of Fame, where he received a star on 11 April 2012 due to his intervention in 7th Cavalry and Django. Fajardo was married four times.
