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

The arms are Or a cloth Gules fixed by a staff Azure, in chief a chestnut Proper between two bees Azure, in base a valley Vertcharged with a pale wavy Azure fimbriated Argent. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "CURRAL DAS FREIRAS - CÂMARA DE LOBOS".
Meaning:
"Curral" in Portuguese means "corral", an open air enclosure for cattle, but in this use it refers to an enclosed valley. The arms are thus partly canting.
