Review & FAQ:
A charming medieval town in the north of Portugal, Barcelos is the proud home of the Rooster of Barcelos, the country's unofficial symbol. The best day to come is on Thursday, when the famous Feira de Barcelos takes place in the center of town, but you certainly won't be disappointed if you visit on a different day instead.
The Monastery of São Martinho de Tibães is a must-see for anyone interested in architecture, while the nearby Northern Littoral Natural Park is perfect for nature lovers. The Museum of Pottery is another great stop, especially if you have time to take a class. Barcelos
