Scotland
Tied to a one-year deal with Partick Thistle until 2005, Escalas had what was seen as a sublime performance on debut, grabbing two goals to overwhelm Brechin 3–0. He went on to reach six goals in his first five games, including strikes at Airdrie, before putting two goals past Ross County later in October. Setting 20 goals as his 2004–05 objective, the Spaniard finished the season with 11 (league) but had to return to Spain to be with his severely sick mother.

He took English classes with a personal teacher while in Scotland.
