It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a plain black field.

Shield, Or per fess a chestnut tree eradicated Vert with its burs Argent and a stag Sable, on a mound of three coupeaux Vert issuant from base three lozenges Argent set 1:2. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "UNIÂO DAS FREGUESIAS DE ESPADANEDO, EDROSO, MURÇÓS E SOUTELO MOURISCO".
Meaning:
These arms seems to be a combination of (some of) the preexisting component communes� arms : lozenges and tree from Murçós, the triple mound from Espadanedo, and the stag, I presume, from an hitherto unknown coat of arms project either from Edroso or Soutelo Mourisco (none of which was ever granted official symbols). The stag�s posture and additional tinctures are not blazoned, so trippant at gaze and attired and unguled and langued and membered and "animated" (eyes) Gules, is assumed.
