About the Flag

It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a plain white background (village rank).

On shield Azure a mountain Argent lined out Sable upon base wavy Vert and Argent superimposed by a pale wavy Azure again superimposed by a pallet wavy Argent (representing a torrent) all flanked by two sugar cane plants Or. Mural crown argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "ÁGUA DE PENA".
Meaning:
The central charge is representing a mountain with a torrent or fountain and is probably a canting element. The plants refer to the importance of sugar production in the Machico region in the past. The base wavy is representing the sea.
