The cock of Barcelos is a a portuguese national symbol. It's origin springs from a legend: an innocent pilgrim, on leaving the town, was accused of stealing and sentenced to hang. He pleaded with the judge, who was about to begin a meal of roasted cockerel, and said that the cock would stand on the plate and crow to prove his innocence. The judge didn't believe him but the cock did stand up and crow.
On our way back to Teixoso we went up in the mountains. Serra da Estrela (mountain range of the star) is the highest mountain range in Portugal and includes mainland Portugal's highest peak, which has an altitude of 1993 m.
This village is called the "village of butter". Ana Lapa lives here and goes by car to the school in Teixoso every day. In the winter there is snow in the mountains.
