Italian Moreno Moser came third, a further six seconds behind Devenyns.
De La Cruz entered the stage in 15th place but now leads Colombian Quintana by 22 seconds and is a further 19 seconds ahead of compatriot Alejandro Valverde, who moved eight seconds in front of Tour de France winner Chris Froome.
The Briton finished together with Quintana, Spaniard Alberto Contador and Colombian Johan Esteban Chaves, two minutes and 56 seconds behind De La Cruz.
