About the flag

Not surprisingly, the flag is green with coat of arms in the centre. The coat of arms has a 4-towered mural crown, a scroll reading "VILA DE AVIS" and a shield, as always. The shield has a green Avis cross on a white (probably silver in the official description) background, and an escutcheon centered in the cross. The escutcheon is charged with a black eagle over a tree (probably a cork-oak) proper on a golden background. In a different source, the scroll comes with the inscription "CÂMARA MUNICIPAL DE AVIS" and in a very light yellow instead of white.
