About the Flag

It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a field divided quarterly blue and yellow.
António Martins-Tuválkin, 30 June 2005

A delightful flag! We’ve seen countless coats of arms on flags, of course; now we see a flag on a coat of arms on a flag.
Lewis A. Nowitz, 30 June 2005

"Bandeiras" means "flags" in Portuguese. I cannot say, how it got that name.
Jorge Candeias, 30 June 2005

These are Argent three flags dressed Azure and staffed Sable set in fess in point a bunch of grapes fruited Or and leaved Vert in chief a goshawk Gules displayed holding an inescutcheon Azure charged with five plates (a quina). Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank). White scroll reading in black capitals "BANDEIRAS".
Meaning:
The main charge is canting, of course, while the chief is the usual azorean charge. The grapes probably stand for the famous local wine (vinho do Pico).
