Legend has it that Juan Guas, a Spanish stonemason and sculptor of Breton origin, was completely desperate due to the deadlines imposed on him for the building to be completed. It must be remembered that the materials arrived by carts pulled by animals that traveled on difficult roads, which made their transportation difficult and lengthened the time. Due to this situation of total hopelessness, it is said that Guas made a pact with the devil to finish on time. It is said that, after this pact, the wagons began to arrive quickly to the place, crossing the Puerto or Alto del Reventón: a location close to 1,500 m altitude and that connects the Lozoya Valley (Community of Madrid) with the Royal Site. of San Ildefonso (Segovia). This fact made it easier for the works to gain a good pace and joy and hope returned to Juan Guas. Seeing that, finally, he could meet the required terms, the architect broke the pact with the devil when the last loaded car was about to arrive, because he did not want to lose his soul; This fact provoked the consequent anger of the mocked demon who decided to petrify the final shipment, so that the Cathedral would never be finished.
