Symbols of Portugal - Galo de Barcelos Business Card

The legend: Portugal - Barcelos - The town's famous symbol is a rooster, in Portuguese called "O Galo de Barcelos" ("the Rooster of Barcelos"). One of the many versions of this legend goes that a rich man threw a big party. When the party was over, the rich man noticed that his sterling cutlery was stolen by a guest. He accused a pilgrim and let him go to court. He protested his innocence, but the judge didn't believe him. The judge was about to eat a roasted rooster when the pilgrim said: "If I am innocent, this rooster will crow three times." When the pilgrim was about to be lynched, the rooster crowed. The judge released the pilgrim. The story ends a few years later when the pilgrim returned and made a statue over the event. - - Hi, you may notice that the edges of the graphics are irregular. It is on purpose to give a rustic appearance, to reenforce the typical and cultural heritage. The same happens to some other designs on the "The Rooster of Barcelos store". If you prefer regular edges, please let me know :) Best wishes - Silvia. - - #GaloDeBarcelos #LuckyCharm #GoodLuckSymbol #Portugal #Rooster
