About the flag

This flag is a almost only a logo-on-background ty of flag. It�s a (presumably) 2:3 horizontal tricolour of gold-white-blue in proportions roughly 1:6:1. In the white stripe, it has the logo of the Algarve Tourism Region above "ALGARVE" in hollow blue lettering. The logo features a blue stylized algavan chimney with a blue border around it, over four coloured lines red, yellow, blue and green. This flag is quite seldom seen around here. I�ve only seen it flying in the the Tourism Region HQs here in Faro, and even that only from time to time. I think it�s more usual to find the poles empty than to see flags in them. The logo, however, is ubiquous�
