La Leyenda de la Siguanaba

This third season of Simple Stories in Spanish is focusing on legends. There are many legends of monstrous women that roam the streets looking for victims. We have already heard the stories of la Llorona, la Patasola and la Tunda. Today’s legend of la Siguanaba has many similarities. Like the three other women, she did not begin as a monster, but became one because of her own bad choices. Now, she is doomed to cause havoc and scare away the men that once adored her. I hope you enjoy la leyenda de la Siguanaba. The first half of this legend is told in the past tense and the second half is in the present tenses. Repeated words and phrases include “hermoso/hermosa” (beautiful), “cara” (face), “piel” (skin), “cabeza” (head), “caballo” (horse), “estaba enamorado/a” (was in love), “se enamoró” (fell in love) and “cambió” (changed). No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way.
