The flag is a gironny of white and purple.

This depiction, from the Municipal website, is a good proof that you shouldn’t believe everything you see on the web. This image is a very wrong depiction of the flag of Loule. I should know — Loulé is at about 10 km from where I’m writing and I’ve seen the flag in the cloth (and photos of it). It also proves that even municipal websites bring wrong info and/or pictures. If I recall correctly, this site had been reported already a long time ago. Sad that it remains the same...

Reported erroneous versions with white and purple instead.

Municipality in the district of Faro (Algarve old province).

I failed so far to see the new logo on a flag. It is also triangular, but follows more closely the new trends of “logology”, that is, is a bunch of seemingly hand-drawn lines and shapes. If it comes out to be included in a flag, I assume it will be a white flag, since that is the colour that gets a better harmony with the thing.

The old logo on bedsheet is a blue field with "TERRA DE LOULÉ" in white capitals below a triangular logo showing a stylized landscape of the region.
