Covelinhas is an extinct Portuguese parish and village in the municipality of Peso da Régua in northern Portugal.

By the last administrative reorganization of the territory of the parishes, according to Law No. 11-A/2013 of January 28, this parish was extinct and merged together with Galafura to form the Galafura and Covelinhas parish, with headquarters in Galafura.[1]

Despite being a small village, Covelinhas has a beautiful landscape and is a good place to rest, fish and enjoy nature. It is regularly visited by many tourists, not only from Portugal but also from other parts of the world.[2]

Access

Covelinhas has the Covelinhas railway station, an interface in the Douro line.
