History of Cantuña

I know about the history of the legend of Cantuña, it says that a worker made a deal to build
the church of San Francisco in a short time, but to achieve this, he made a deal with the devil
and in exchange he would have to give his soul. The deal was to build the church before dawn.
When he was about to finish the church, worried Cantuña hid a stone and thus deceived the
devil by finishing on time and kept his soul.

Yo sé sobre la historia de la leyenda de Cantuña, esta dice que un obrero hizo un trato para
construir la igelsia de San Francisco en corto tiempo, pero para lograr esto, él hizo un trato con
el diablo y a cambio tendría que dar su alma. El trato consistia en construrir la igleisa antes del
amanecer. Cuando ya estaba por terminar la iglesia, Cantuña preocupado escondia una piedra
y así engaño al diablo por terminar a tiempo y se quedó su alma.
