Born in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat in the Barcelona metropolitan area, Quirós graduated with a diploma in labour relations from the University of Barcelona and a master's degree in public management from University Ramon Llull. As of 2024, he is married and has one son and one daughter, and has coached basketball teams in his hometown.[2]

For six years up to 2004, Quirós led the Socialist Youth of Catalonia (JSC) in L'Hospitalet.[3] In July 2016, he took a seat on the city council when Mercè Perea left for the Congress of Deputies.[4] Under mayor Núria Marín, he was the councillor in charge of culture, social innovation and District III of the city.[5]

Quirós was re-elected in the 2019 and 2023 local elections.[6][7] On 22 May 2024, Marín announced her resignation after 16 years in office, with Quirós to succeed her on 15 June.[8]

Quirós was elected to the Provincial Deputation of Barcelona in 2023.[9] He was made a vice president of Localret [ca], the publicly owned telecommunications consortium.[10] In March 2024, PSC secretary general Salvador Illa named Quirós as a national secretary of the party.[11]
