Between Viana do Castelo and Braga, a stopover in this city of crafts is a must, especially on Thursday mornings for the large traditional market, which has become very popular with tourists. It is the most colourful market in Portugal! Barcelos is the city of the rooster, the most famous emblem of the country. There are, of course, infinite variations around the legend of this rooster. Take the time to read, on one of the remaining walls of the ruins of the small open-air Arqueológico Museum, the "official" version told in Portuguese or English. To park, nothing could be easier: the large car park in front of the hospital is ideally placed for visiting Barcelos and is free.
