Júlia Côta likes to start conversations with customers by clarifying an important fact: "It was my grandfather who created the cock of Barcelos, in Largo do Santo Amaro. It was there that my grandfather was born and who created the cock. I don't know how I just remember him there always on the wheel working to make the gourd of the cock (the body), and then the tail and the crest are nailed to each other. Who made the real cock that gave Barcelos its name was mine grandfather". "I tell my children well. I learned that I don't always endure", but they dispute that the mother has a way and that she was the only one of eight brothers who stayed with popular art. Júlia also thought about passing on the knowledge to her son, "he is the one who has love for this", but, he stresses that this mister has no future. He likes everything he does. For the dolls and the devils she has more affection. And imagination is not lacking, there are so many things he would like to do that he thinks that a single life does not reach him. It even seems that the pieces "are born of my hands". For this very reason, he states that "I didn't even want to die!".
