The village Vale de Gouvinhas is situated in a valley on the right bank of the river Tuela in the municipality of Mirandela, Portugal.

Both names can be related to the toponym Gouvinhas, for the third hypothesis, by phonetic evolution in the merging patronymic "Gaudilaci" of Gaudila and Gouvia.

This location, taking account of the archeology of Torre de Dona Chama, the fort and the fortifications, point to a settlement in the pre- and proto-history.

From a religious point of view, Vale de Gouvinhas and the neighboring villages form a union since the fifteenth century.
