Roosters in all possible shapes, colours, sizes and materials - the colorful rooster should not be missing in any souvenir shop! It is the country's mascot, so to speak, and is considered a symbol of good luck. The large ceramic galos are all over the city and in a different place every year.

The legend of the Barcelos Rooster is an important part of Portuguese culture. She touches on aspects of everyday life such as justice, pride, destiny and belief in miracles that are held in high esteem in Portugal. At the same time, the legend reflects the playful and distanced handling of the Portuguese with secular and religious hierarchies. Here the humanity and humor of the common people stands against the elites who distance themselves from them and often seem arbitrary.

The rooster is the symbol of Barcellos. Corresponding figures are set up in the city as photo motifs. In the tourist information you can get the current location if you can't find it.
