About the Flag

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

Shield Or, a torn coat Gules, issuant from base a valley Vert, in chief two grapevines Purpure leaved Vert in fess. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "VALE - S. MARTINHO".
Meaning:
The coat is an attribute of St. Martin, local patron saint and name giver of the commune. Valley and coat are thus canting. The grapevines are probably symbolizing viticulture.
