About the flag

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.

Version without the coat of arms

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