Covelo is a municipality in the autonomous community of Galicia, in northwestern Spain. It lies within the province of Pontevedra and forms part of the comarca (district) of A Paradanta.
As a Galician municipality, Covelo belongs to one of Spain's seventeen autonomous communities and one of its historic nationalities, a region where both Galician and Spanish are official languages. The province of Pontevedra occupies the southwestern portion of Galicia, and its municipalities are grouped into comarcas for administrative and service purposes; Covelo's inclusion in A Paradanta places it within that local structure.
Beyond its administrative identity, the municipality is defined chiefly by its location in Galicia's interior, within the province of Pontevedra and the A Paradanta comarca. These are the essential facts of its status and position within Spain's territorial organization.
