The Covelinhas Railway Station is an interface on the Douro line, which serves the now extinct parish of Covelinhas, in the municipality of Peso da Régua, Portugal.[1]
History[edit]

This interface is located on the section between Régua station and Ferrão halt on the Douro Line, which was inaugurated on 4 April 1880.[2]
In 1901, a road was under construction, linking this station to the city of Vila Real, and it was planned to install another road between Armamar and the opposite bank of the Douro, in front of the station, in order to better serve the region south of the river.[3]
On 28 October 1903, the government authorised the financing of several station access roads, including a 413 m long road between Covelinhas and the quay on the River Douro.[4] However, in 1932 access to the station was still very primitive, with only paths for ox carts.[5]
In 28 January 2013, Covelinhas parish was extinct and replaced by the Galafura and Covelinhas parish.
