Parish of Bragança municipality. Due to an administrative merger held in 2013 a new and bigger parish was formed "União das Freguesias de Aveleda e Rio de Onor".

"Rio de Onor is a small village in the border of Portugal with Spain. In fact, it's more like one village divided by the national border. In Portugal is named Rio de Onor (Rionor de Abajo in Spanish) and in Spain is Rihonor de Arriba. Here, people leave almost all from what they produce - it's called a communitary village (in trekearth.com)".
