Yes, a shirt made of 100% cotton (algodón is the Spanish word for cotton) is likely to shrink if it is not pre-shrunk or treated to resist shrinking. Cotton fibers tend to contract when exposed to heat and moisture.
To minimize shrinkage:
Wash in cold water.
Use a gentle cycle.
Avoid high heat when drying—air dry or use a low-heat setting.
If it is labeled “pre-shrunk,” it may still shrink slightly but not significantly. Always check the care label for specific instructions.
