    Hiking

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

    Over the Cávado River, this Gothic stone bridge, commissioned by Count Pedro between 1325 and 1330, connects Barcelos to Barcelinhos and has been classified as a National Monument since 1910.

    And if the heat gets too much, right next door awaits a river beach perfect for a refreshing dip.

    Hiking

    A charming medieval town perched on a hillside above the Rio Cávado. Sights include the Church of Nossa Senhora do Terço, the Centro do Artesanato de Barcelos (an arts and crafts center) and the 15th-century ruins of the Paço dos Duques de Bragança (Palace of the Duke of Bragança), now an open-air archeology museum. There is also a cross that tells the story of the famous Galo de Barcelos.
