Pocinho

Pocinho is a village in northern Portugal, located in the Vila Nova de Foz Côa Municipality.

The Pocinho Dam and the River Douro are nearby.

The railway formerly continued eastwards into Spain, but that section closed in 1988.

The Sabor line, a narrow gauge railway, formerly ran north-east from Pocinho over 100 km to Duas Igrejas (near Miranda do Douro).

The Portuguese journalist, novelist and politician Francisco José Viegas was born in Pocinho on 14 March 1962.
