According to the Manual del Estado Español (Handbook of the Spanish State, Spanish text only) by Editorial Lama: no flag, historical coat-of-arms [meaning there is no known adoption date] (16th-18th centuries):

Escudo en dos óvalos. En el óvalo diestro, orlado por el letrero en latín "Portus varias et terrae custodia," figura una fortaleza, en su color, sobre campo de azur y al pie mar de sinople ondeado. En el óvalo izquierdo, orlado por el letrero "12 de octubre. 1492. 3 de agosto," en campo de azur, tres carabelas entre dos mundos, en su color, sobre mar de sinople ondeado. En el borde inferior lleva un cuerno de la abundancia y una espada laureada. Al timbre corona real.

Pascal Vagnat, 16 Jul 1999

Either the reader or the Manual have it wrong. The motto is "Portus maris et terrae custodia," "A port which protects both land and sea."

Huelva province currently has an unofficial flag which is the same as that of its capital: white with a small blue square in center.
