Tips
Barcelos is famous for its handcrafted pottery, particularly the Galo de Barcelos, a colorful rooster that is an unofficial national symbol. The large ceramic galos are located all over the city and in different places every year.

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 a symbol of the city but also a symbol of Portugal.
