Porto Covo, Coastal parish in Sines, Portugal
Porto Covo stretches along the western Alentejo coast, featuring white buildings and narrow streets that lead down to sandy beaches and rocky cliffs.
The settlement evolved from four houses in 1780 to become a fishing port under the leadership of Jacinto Fernandes Bandeira, who received the title Senhor de Porto Covo.
The parish maintains its connection to maritime traditions through the three-day Nossa Senhora da Soledade festival celebrated each August with local music and seafood.
The N120 road connects Porto Covo to major transportation networks, while the postal code 7520-415 covers the central area of this 50.72 square kilometer parish.
The name Porto Covo derives from 'covo,' referring to specialized fishing nets used by local fishermen to catch lobsters and crabs in coastal waters.
