Current Goal

I would like to visit Portuguese caches around the world, but also to caches where there my legend isn't well known. I would especially like to make stops in Fall River (Massachusetts), mainland Portugal, all the islands of the Azores, and Madeira. If I can get to Madeira, I'd like to visit Camara de Lobos. If I can get to the Azores, I'd like to visit Flamengos. After touring these places, bring me home to New Bedford (Massachusetts).

Also! Please take photos with me before passing me on!

 

Portuguese translation:

Eu gostaria de visitar caches portuguesas em todo o mundo, mas também para caches onde minha lenda não é bem conhecida. Eu especialmente gostaria de fazer escalas em Fall River (Massachusetts), Portugal continental, todas as ilhas dos Açores, e da Madeira. Se eu puder chegar a Madeira, que eu gostaria de visitar a Câmara de Lobos. Se eu conseguir para os Açores, eu gostaria de visitar Flamengos. Depois de visitar estes lugares, traga-me o lar de New Bedford (Massachusetts).

Também! Por favor, tirar fotos com me antes de me passar!

About This Item

Galo de Barcelos

The Galo (Rooster) of Barcelos is a common site in Portugal and Portuguese locations around the world. While there are variations on its appearance, the most frequently seen has black feathers with hearts and floral patterns across the body.

Legend

Silver had been stolen from a landowner in Barcelos, and the inhabitants of that city were looking for the criminal. A pilgrim from Galicia, on his way to Santiago de Compostela, turned up and became suspect. The Galician swore that he was merely passing through, but his pleas were ignored.

The authorities arrested the Galician and condemned him to hang. The man asked to be taken before the judge who had condemned him. At the house of the magistrate, the Galician reaffirmed his innocence, pointing a to a roasted rooster on the banquet table and exclaimed:

"If I am innocent, this rooster will crow when I am hanged!"

The magistrate ignored the appeal. However, while the pilgrim was being hanged, the roasted rooster suddenly stood up on its plate and crowed loudly! The judge ran to the gallows, only to discover that the Galician had been saved from hanging thanks to a poorly made knot in the rope. The man was immediately freed and sent off in peace.

Some years later, the Galician returned to Barcelos to sculpt the Cruzeiro do Senhor do Galo in praise to the Virgin Mary and to Saint James. The monument is located in the Archeological Museum of Barcelos.

 

Portuguese translation:

O Galo (galo) de Barcelos é um local comum em Portugal e locais portuguesas em todo o mundo. Embora haja variações sobre sua aparência, o mais freqüente tem penas pretas com corações e padrões florais em todo o corpo.


Lenda


Prata havia sido roubado de um proprietário de terras em Barcelos, e os habitantes daquela cidade estavam procurando o criminal. Um peregrino da Galiza, a caminho de Santiago de Compostela, virou-se e tornou-se suspeito. O galego jurou que ele estava apenas de passagem, mas seus pedidos foram ignorados.


As autoridades prenderam o galega e condenou-o para pendurar. O homem pediu para ser levado perante o juiz que o havia condenado. Na casa do magistrado, o galego reafirmou a sua inocência, apontando um para um galo assado sobre a mesa de banquete e exclamou:


"Se eu sou inocente, este galo cantará quando estou enforcado!"


O magistrado ignorou o apelo. No entanto, enquanto o peregrino estava a ser enforcado, o galo assado repente levantou-se em seu prato e cantou em voz alta! O juiz correu para a forca, apenas para descobrir que o galego tinham sido salvos de pendurar graças a um nó mal feito na corda. O homem foi imediatamente libertado e enviado em paz.


Alguns anos mais tarde, o galego voltou a Barcelos para esculpir o Cruzeiro do Senhor do Galo em louvor à Virgem Maria e Saint James. O monumento está localizado no Museu Arqueológico de Barcelos.
