The arms are Vert issuant from a base wavy of Azure and Argent a pile reversed Argent between a billet Or and a grindwheel Argent and in chief a hoe dipper's blade Argent between a grindwheel Argent and a billet Or. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "VILA VERDE".
Meaning:
I am guessing that the white triangle on the arms refers to the local sea salt extraction traditions, the grindwheels and the hoe with trivial meanings; no idea about the billets, though. Note also that the legal text says five barrulets ("_cinco burelas_") while the image shows only four. The sheet of the flag is green, and the name of the commune means "green town"
