Posing with the infamous Barcelos Cock, which has since become the symbol for all Portugal. Legend has it that a man had been convicted of a crime he didn't commit and was brought before the magistrate at his home to plead his innocence. The magistrate was unmoved and as he was being hauled away, he pointed to the roasted chicken on the dinner table and cried, "If I am innocent, that cock will stand up and crow at daybreak." And guess what? At daybreak it stood and crowed and the man's life was spared.

It also makes for great photo-ops, souvenirs, and endless string of cock jokes. Insert your own here. (no pun intended)
