Legend of Zorro
A legend was born in Sinaloa
12/12/2007 | The Secretary of Tourism, Mr. Antonio Ibarra Salgado and
Roberto Balderrama Gomez hotelier unveiled a statue erected to the legend
of El Zorro, a character who has become famous through movies and assuring
chronicles born in this colonial town nestled between the Sea of Cortez
and Copper Canyon.
This ensures that Alejandro de la Vega was married in Fort Montesclaros,
now known as El Fuerte Sinaloa with a mestiza named Maria de la Luz
Gaxiola in the year 1794 and from that union was the child born a year
later Diego .
Later, Don Alejandro de la Vega entered a slump in the mining business and
in addition who ran his wife died in 1805, which gave rise to seek new
horizons that she expected to find in Alta California, where several
civilians who years fuertenses were behind the colonization of these lands
had triumphed over there.
The story was being forgotten, but by 1820 began hearing about the
exploits of a California bandit hero who defended the poor from Spanish
oppression. That intrepid character calling himself El Zorro, who was then
ranked as the young Diego who years ago abandoned, along with his father,
the house of El Fuerte where he was born.
The legend passed from generation to generation and still be heard in the
days of Porfirio Diaz, but then the revolutionary movements of our country
were left in oblivion, until the reporters came to dust.
This story was read during the ceremony unveiling the statue with the
image of this legendary character who finds himself in the courtyard of
Posada hotel, owned by Don Roberto Balderrama, whom the Sinaloa state
government gave him credit for his 50 years dedicated to the hotel
business and was joined on the bill by the Minister of Tourism, Mr.
Antonio Ibarra Salgado.
