Discover the Barcelos Legend: A Tale of Redemption and Courage
The Barcelos Rooster, an iconic symbol, finds its origins in a captivating legend that revolves around a Galego, a man who found himself unjustly sentenced to hang, despite his vehement protests of innocence.
In a moment of sheer desperation, with the judge casually enjoying his dinner, the condemned man decided to make a daring plea for his life:
He boldly declared that if his claims of innocence held true, the roasted rooster that graced the judge’s plate would miraculously rise from its resting place and let out a triumphant crow. To the amazement of all present, a magnificent scarlet-plumed cockerel emerged from the plate, filling the room with its resounding and victorious crow.
