The flag is quartered yellow over blue, and the coat of arms is red, on a
rocky mount vert lined sable, a castle tower gold lit and opened blue, between
two crescents argent pointing upwards and two five pointed stars of the same.
This of course represents the local rocky hills, of mystical past and weird
meteorology, and its moorish castle.

A quite frequent variation without scroll. Scroll-less flags and coats
of arms can be seen even in official municipal buildings and printed material.
As far as I know, the only other portuguese municipality doing this is the
neighbouring Cascais.
