Barca d'Alva is a Portuguese village located in the municipality of Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo, north of the Guarda District.

Alongside these crops, there is also livestock production, in particular Churra da Terra Quente sheep.

In 1887, Barca d'Alva became famous due to the inauguration of the last station (planned since 1883[3]) in the Linha do Douro railway line.

The end of the line had gradually moved closer and closer to the Spanish border, it expanded to Juncal in 1878, to Régua in 1879, Tua in 1883, Pocinho in January 1887, Vila Nova de Foz Côa in May 1887, and finally, Barca d’Alva in December of that same year.

As of 2023, the entire station area is abandoned and Barca d'Alva is declining in terms of infrastructure and population.
