Not Vasco Núñez de Balboa - a photo on Flickriver

            You're walking around Balboa Park, the site that was transformed for the Panama-California Exposition of 1915 and you see this magnificent, imposing statue of a warrior on horseback amid the central point for foot and vehicular traffic, so it must be Balboa, right?

No.  This is El Cid Campeador, the Castilian nobleman, Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar.  An 11th century Spanish folk hero, who eventually became ruler of independent Valencia, along the Mediterranean Spanish coast.  El Cid is Moorish for The Lord, and El Campeador is Spanish for Outstanding Warrior.

Dedicated on July 5th, 1930, the 23' bronze statue in Balboa park of El Cid on his warhorse, Babieca, is a replica of the Anna Hyatt Huntington sculpture located at the Hispanic Society of America in New York City.
