The arms are Or a bunch of grapes Purpure leaved Vert and stalked Sable between two olive branches Vert crossed per saltire and stalked and fruited Sable. Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "VILA DE SANTA MARTA DE PENAGUIÃO".
Meaning:
"Santa Marta" means Saint Martha and "penaguião" can be analysed to mean something like "he-eagle cliff". These elements are not found in the arms, however, which concentrate in the usual county fair lookout, showing off local agricultural products.

This flag and arms were adopted and published in the official journal Diário do Governo : I Série on 1 February 1934.
