Well, yes, back in 29 May 1999. You can read it in <pt-pts.html>, though.

They are all on the same island, except for those in Porto Snato (only
one municipality and one commune there.) See FotW-ws page

You saw both flags at the same townhall?

It is officially blue. Was the shade you observed due to aging? Did
you saw a single copy of the flag, or several with the same exact
shade?
See Sérgio’s image unattributed in Wikimedia Commons at <

Klaus-Michael, you used this image as the base for yours, yes? You
should report its source, anyway.
Reporting one’s observations is good. Discussing them and comparing
with other people’s reports and published data — that’s even better.

So the town hall (municipal government headquarters?) was flying all
three communal flags, the municipal flag, plus (I presume) the
regional, national, and European Union flags?

Should be medium blue — shave variants are however known for many
Portuguese subnational flags, so here’s one more.
