Overview

Barcelos is known for the city of the rooster, symbol of Portugal!

The Barcelos’s crafts have their own character with many stories as is the Route of the Figurado. In 2017, Barcelos was considered UNESCO Creative City in handicraft and folk art.

Barcelos is a city with a small diversity of monuments that tells a lot of history! It was once a very important territory at the commercial level.

The Barcelos Fair is one of the largest, oldest and most admired in Portugal, taking place every Thursday of the year.

Come see where it all began, where the legend of the rooster came from!
