Barcelos Medieval Bridge
Hiking Highlight
The Barcelos Bridge is more than just an entrance to the city. It's a gateway to its legends, like that of the rooster.

Galo de Barcelos Statue
Hiking Highlight
Nice city from 1140 with approximately 120,000 inhabitants. The symbol of the rooster from the legend of the man wrongly sentenced to the gallows is not only a symbol of the city but also a symbol of Portugal.
