I have a JabRef database in the same folder as my *.tex directory. Im using the following:

\documentclass[12pt, letterpaper]{article}
 \usepackage[spanish,activeacute]{babel}
 \usepackage{lmodern}
 \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
 \usepackage{biblatex}
 \bibliography{Biblio}

\begin{document}
JUNasdladadljkasljkds \cite{someauthor}

\end{document}

You need to add \printbibliography before \end{document} in order to get the bibliography to show up.

After compiling this with either latex, pdflatex, xelatex, or laulatex. You need to run biber and then the LaTeX engine from the previous sentence in order to have the bibliography database properly read, sorted, and formatted.

Another note \bibliography is deprecated in biblatex. Use \addbibresource instead.

\documentclass[12pt, letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage[spanish,activeacute]{babel}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\addbibresource{Biblio.bib}

\begin{document}
JUNasdladadljkasljkds \cite{someauthor}

\printbibliography
\end{document}

    Please add the explanaition for using pdflatex, biber or bibtex (missing backend option for biblatex), pdflatex, pdflatex and that biber/bibtex creates a bbl file, log in blg file. Then I will upvote your answer. – Mensch Dec 11 '15 at 08:51
  • Please note that while the MWE might not give the output one might wish for, still it does work, it just doesn't display a bibliography since - as you noted - the \printbibliography is missing. It is not per se necessary to have a \printbibliography. Also \addbibresource needs the file extension, so it should be \addbibresource{Biblio.bib}. On my MikTeX system \addbibresource{Biblio} without the .bib does not work. – moewe Dec 11 '15 at 15:44
