Companionship in Barcelos
On the Cavado river in the Minho region, Barcelos has about 19,085 residents and is the home of Portugal's most recognisable symbol: the Galo de Barcelos (Rooster of Barcelos). The legend tells of a pilgrim on the Camino de Santiago wrongly condemned to death who appealed to a roasted rooster on the judge's plate, declaring it would crow to prove his innocence. The rooster stood and crowed, and the pilgrim was freed. The brightly painted ceramic rooster has become Portugal's unofficial national emblem.
The Feira de Barcelos, held every Thursday in the Campo da Republica, is one of the largest open-air markets in Europe. Stalls sell everything from live animals and agricultural equipment to pottery, textiles, and the iconic rooster figurines. The medieval bridge across the Cavado and the ruins of the Paco dos Condes (Counts' Palace) on the riverbank complete the town's architectural core.
