Antonio Banderas
The masked man in black, El Zorro, a fictional defender of townspeople played on the silver screen by Antonio Banderas and Douglas Fairbanks, Wednesday was honored with a statue in his home town.

Barranca del Cobre is the dusty town in Sinaloa state where according to legend Don Diego de la Vega, a fictional nobleman who defended farmers and ranchers against evil governors and assorted wrongdoers, fought the good fight.

Tourism chief Antonio Ibarra unveiled a statue in his honor, hoping it will lure tourists to learn about the legend and the town.
