Pedro would have bought with the craftsman a slave very similar to the one he always wore, as a symbol of his affection.

During his walk, the singer would have taken the Spaniard to visit the Virgin of Izamal and she would have been fascinated. Noting his emotion, the Idol of Mexico would have decided to give the Virgin a jewel as well and ordered her to make a golden crown.
