About the Flag

It is a fairly typical Portuguese municipal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a plain purple field.
Klaus-Michael Schneider, 7 Nov 2014

Coat of arms: 4 towered mural crown, scroll reading "VILA DE BOMBARRAL", and shield. The shield is very simple: silver with 3 bunches of purple grapes ordered 2:1.
Meaning:
The grapes mean wine.
Jorge Candeias, 22 Sep 1998

Flag and arms adopted and published in Diário da República: III Série on 13 April 1996

Version without Coat of Arms

Plain (monocoloured) Portuguese subnational flags are not allowed to have variations without arms: plain flags always carry the coat of arms.
Jorge Candeias, 18 July 1999
