It is a fairly typical Portuguese municipal flag, with the coat of arms as described below centred on a field gyronny of eight of purple and white (city rank) (left image above). A variant, see here has shades of the gyrons in violet, instead of purple, and white, background colour of the shield is also violet instead of black, and the grapes have a lighter shade of violet instead of purple (right image above).

4-towered mural crown, scroll reading "ANADIA" and a black shield with a weirdly stylized vine in (somewhat) natural colours.
