About the Flag

It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a plain yellow field.
António Martins-Tuválkin, 6 Sep 2010

The arms are Vert divided by a bend wavy Argent charged with two bendlets wavy Azure, acorn cob Or in dexter base, a pine Or in sinister chief. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "RIBEIRA DE FRÁGUAS".
Meaning:
"ribeira de fráguas" means something like "cliff creek", so these arms are partly canting.

Flag and arms adopted and published in the official journal Diário da República: III Série on 3 December 1997
