How it was born, how it has changed and what it means.
The flag of Terras de Bouro is plain green, with the arms in the centre. The arms show a mountain animal on a green hill: the landscape of the Gerês range, which covers much of the municipality.
We have not found the date nor the rule that approved the flag. According to Flags of the World, the arms allude to the natural heritage of the Gerês. Terras de Bouro is a town: that is why the ground is plain and the crown on the arms has four towers.
No earlier flag or arms of Terras de Bouro are known.

Flags of the World believes the animal is a roe deer, though it admits it could be a mountain goat. A local source describes it as an ibex.
The Gerês range is part of the Peneda-Gerês National Park, created in 1971, the only national park in the country.
