El Gallo Giro
The Story of Gallo Giro, the Rooster
El Gallo Giro is a type of fighting rooster - known for its white feathers. Legend says that a long time ago in Mexico, there was a champion white feathered rooster, a Gallo Giro, who won many fights. The legend of the gallo giro grew and people would come from all over to witness the rooster fight.
In the 60's, a movie was made about it, and an actor named Luis Aguilar played one of the main characters. He became famous and people called him ''Gallo Giro'' for his role in the movie. Luis Aguilar passed away in 1998 of heart problems, but he is remembered today thanks to the El Gallo Giro movie.
