Three locals from Morón with very different backgrounds will be the Three Wise Men of 2027

An athlete with international medals, a businessman who started in his own garage and a ham professional with worldwide projection. These are the three residents who this year will bring Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar to life in the Three Wise Men Parade in Morón de la Frontera, as announced by the Town Council. Melchor will be Andrés Barroso Vega, 54 years old, an administrative worker and resident of the Pantano area. He has spent two decades dedicated to archery and has accumulated five Spanish championships, around twenty Andalusian champion titles and five appearances with the national team. His most remembered achievement is the bronze at the European Championship in San Sicario (Italy). Gaspar will be Luis Miguel Corrales Castaño, Luis Corrales, 39 years old. He started in the blacksmith trade at 16 and at 23 he set up a workshop in his own garage. At the end of 2019 he founded Thicorca Herrería y Construcción, S. L., dedicated to metal structures and construction. Today he heads three companies that generate direct and indirect employment in the town. Baltasar will be Sergio Bellido García, raised among hams in a family shop on the corner of calle Nueva. He worked as a cutter at weddings, casetas and bars, and at 20 he left for San Sebastián. In 1996 he opened Peña El Siguerín together with Silvia and later the restaurant La Peña. In 2003 came La Antigua Despensa. He has been official cutter for the Fundación del Jamón Serrano, Joselito and INTERPORC SPAIN and has presented a study on ham cutting at the World Congress in Toulouse. The three will leave their work for a few days to tour the streets of the municipality on the night of January 5, one of the most awaited of the year in the town.
