About the Flag

It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a field gyronny of eight of yellow and blue.
Meaning of the colours:
Yellow is symbolizing local riches, the power of labour and the gold, which had been found in the mines of Lugar de Presa da Bouça. Blue is the traditional colour of the commune and of the local football club as well.

Coat of arms

Shield Azure, a sinister bendy saw Argent hilted Sable, in sinister chief a chestnut twig Argent fruited Or, in dexter base a cogwheel Or. Mural crown Argent with five visible towers (city rank) and white scroll with inscription in black capitals "REBORDOSA". (left image above)
Meaning:
The chestnut twig is alluding to the chestnut hedgerows (Port.: castanheiros rebordões), which according to "old documents" are the origin of the commune's name. The hedgerows consisted of wild chestnut trees with small and round chestnuts, and many trees are nowadays found on the local farms. The saw is representing the local carpentry and production of furniture. The cogwheel is representing industries.
