About the Flag

It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a plain purple field (village rank).

Coat of arms

image by Klaus-Michael Schneider, 30 Apr 2015

The arms are Or a Roman sword Gules per pale between two pears Purpure leaved Vert and in base a bridge issuant Sable masoned Argent. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "ALGUBER".
Meaning:
Still about (probably) non canting pears in Portuguese communal arms / flags, here's one more. Note that the official words include the prescription that pears and sword should be "well ordered", "tudo bem ordenado", when indeed it is not: The flanking pears are blazoned first in the original text, and off set to the chief in the image.
The word "alguber" has no evident meaning in Portuguese; it almost surely derived from Arabic, but doesn't seem to mean either "pear" nor "sword", judging from these two pages: here(kmþry) and here(sif).
