Usage notes

Vila Nova de Foz Coa is never indicated by an article; see usage notes for Portugal.

Following the Orthographic Agreement of 1990, toponyms such as Coa should be written without a circumflex accent. However, both in official and non-official documents, the pre-1990 spelling is still prevalent.
