The flag is a red flag with a typical 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 disposed in V (2+1). The grapes mean
wine.

Plain (monocolored) portuguese subnational flags are not allowed to have
armless variations: plain flags always carry the coat of arms.

Bombarral is a town in the south of the district of
Leiria, old province of Estremadura, probable
future region of Ribatejo e Oeste. The municipality
is rather small, 90 sq. km of area and a bit over 12 400 inhabitants
distributed in 5 communes. The economy is mostly rural.
