Presentation of Padrela e Tazem

Padrela e Tazem Commune is one of the 25 communes of Valpaços Municipality; it had 359 inhabitants in 2011 and covers 28.6 km². This commune, as its compound name suggests, is itselt the result of a previous amalgamation - its constituents, the former communes of Padrela and Tazem, most likely had no flags of their own.
