The flag is (again and boringly) typical: quarterly divided white over a
reddish purple (so called wine color, I suppose the official documentation
simply say "purple"), and with a typical coat of
arms in the centre: 4-towered mural crown, scroll
reading "ANADIA" and a black shield with a weirdly stylized
vine in (somewhat) natural colours.

The meaning of this coat of arms is simple: Anadia belongs to a natural
region known as Bairrada, famous in Portugal through it's wines and
the way the cook pork. So, the only thing missing in the coat of arms is a
piglet.
