Hiking

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.

Hiking

Other local attractions 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 Galo de Barcelos.

The medieval walled city sits on a hillside above the Rio Cávado. Barcelos is famous for its handcrafted pottery, particularly the Galo de Barcelos, a colorful rooster that is an unofficial national symbol and considered good luck in Portugal.
