Legends of Ecuador

Legends are old stories that have been passed from generation to generation, many of the countries of the world have their own legends, that's why I've come to talk to you about 2 urban legends of the country of Ecuador.

1.- Cantuña and his pact with the devil 

It is said that in colonial times, an Indian named Cantuña undertook to build the atrium of the church of San Francisco. One night, before the stipulated deadline, desperate Cantuña agreed with the devil to finish the work before dawn. As payment, he would give her his soul.

2.- The Tamarind Widow

This legend comes from the story of a Manabi woman who murdered her Spanish husband. The homicide committed condemned the soul of the widow, and she was cursed and confined to wander near a tamarind tree on a hacienda in Quinta Pareja, crying eternally for the memory of her husband.
