Camino de Santiago stage town on Camino Portugués
Barcelos is a popular first- or second-day stop on the Central route of the Camino Portugués, sitting on the banks of the Cávado River. The town is known throughout Portugal for the legend of the Barcelos Rooster (Galo de Barcelos), whose colorful figure you'll see everywhere, and for its long-running weekly open-air market.
