About the Flag

It is a fairly typical Portuguese municipal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a black and green gyronny (city rank) field.
António Martins-Tuválkin, 20 May 2007

The arms are Argent between two mill millwheels Sable emphasized Or and above two fesses wavy Azure, a sheaf of five wheat ears Vert tied Or. Mural crown Argent with five visible towers (city rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "MUNICíPIO DE VALONGO"
António Martins-Tuválkin, 20 May 2007

These arms and flag were adopted upon the upgrade of the municipality seat to city status on 10 August 1990 and are a trivial change of the former arms and flag — according to Sérgio Horta, as of 22 December 2005, this flag is not yet published in the official journal.
