It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a field quartered of blue and white.

Shield Argent parted per bar wavy Azure, in chief a dove Purpure, in base a cross patty Gules charged with a Greek cross Argent; bordure Vert charged with six pine cones Or. Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials: "OLALHAS".
Meaning:
The dove is representing the Holy Spirit, though Our Lady of Immaculate Conception is the local patron saint. The cross is alluding to the Order of the Knights of Christ.
