About the Flag

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

Shield Vert, slightly shifted to the base a fess wavy Azure fimbriated Argent and charged with two bezants, in chief two keys crossed per saltire (a sinister bendy key Argent and a bendy key Or) tied Or. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials: "GONDARÉM".
Meaning:
The pair of crossed keys is an attribute of St. Peter, the local patron saint.
