The new flag and shield of the Liniers neighborhood were presented at the last end-of-year party of its neighborhood center. The symbols were created at the request of the institution by Silvio Fernández, president of CESAHYCAG (Argentine Heraldic Symbolism and Culture Center Alta Gracia). The Neighborhood Commission and neighbors of the neighborhood participated in the historical review.
According to Fernández, the flag is divided into seven horizontal stripes,
which bear the colors red and black, representing the native people who
inhabited the area and the clubs and educational institutions in the area. The
light blue and white stripes represent the national colors. The shield of the
Liniers neighborhood is also present in the middle of the flag.

Silvio Fernández comments on the meaning of each piece and color of the shield:
“Quartered emblem, with the white upper quarter showing the typical espinillo
tree of the area and the Barrio Liniers motto. In the lower quarter, it has the
green color of nature, the brown color of the earth and mountains, and the light
blue of the water and sky (natural reserves and Chicamtoltina and Caocamilín –
Santa Cruz streams). The left side quarter has the black color representing the
original Comechingon culture of the area and wheat spikes representing the work
of the neighborhood residents and the neighborhood center. In the fourth
quarter, on the right side, it has the red color representing the original
Comechingon culture of the area; it also has an arrowhead with the same meaning.
In the upper part of the shield it has the Argentine patriotic rising sun,
representing the national values and the creator of the Argentine flag, Don
Manuel Belgrano, in whose honor there is a small square in Barrio Liniers.”

Portales del Sol is a borough of Alta Gracia (48,140 inhabitants in 2010), a
town located 40 km south-west of Córdoba.
The flag of Portales del Sol
is garnet red with a yellow sun having 16 green rays outlined in yellow and the
black outline of a gate in the center.
The flag was unveiled on 23
December 2019, as the result of an innovative process of participatory
vexillology, organized by Centro Cesahycag and Fundación Participar Santa María,
with the support of the Centro Vecinal (elected local authority).
The Centro
Vecinal invited the borough's citizens to a creativity workshop organized on 27
July 2019. The workshop resulted in 29 proposals.
The winning design was
selected on 3 August by a jury presided by Cristian Baquero Lazcano, the
designer of the provincial flag. Regular members were Cristina Roca,
representing the Centro Vecinal; two citizens, Iván Medina and Susana Cortez
(also a member of the Women's Council); and the journalist Juan Carlos Gamero.
The flag is a collective work submitted by the Peláez family (Paola,
Marcelo, Sofía and Gastón).
The garnet red field represents the roofs of the
houses composing the borough.
The sun ("sol") alludes to the name of the
borough. The green rays represent the borough's streets, which are all named
for autochthonous trees ("algarrobos", Prosopis spp.; "aromitas",
Acacia spp.; "chañares", Geoffroea decorticans; "espinillos",
Acacia caven; "jarillas"; Larrea spp.; "lapachos", Tabebuia
spp.; "molles", American pepper, Schinus molle; "moradillos",
Schinus fasciculatus; "pasionarias", Passion fruit, Passiflora edulis;
"quebrachos", Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco; "talas", Desert
hackberry, Celtis ehrenbergians).
The gate ("portal") in Jesuit
style also alludes to the name of the borough [and, probably so
straightforwardly that it was not even mentioned, to the Jesuit origin of the
town of Alta Gracia].

The municipality of Anisacate (2,991 inhabitants in 2010) is located 50 km
south-west of Córdoba and 10 km south of Alta Gracia.
The flag of
Anisacate is horizontally divided celestial blue-dark blue-green, with a thin
white line between the two blue stripes and a white triangle placed along the
hoist, with a rounded-off angle and charged with a yellow sun.
The flag
of Anisacate was selected on 10 November 2021 among 66 proposals submitted in a
public contest organized by the municipality.
The flag was designed by
Héctor Orlando Alfonzo and Domingo Guido Ponce, from El Descanso. Alfonzo
explained the design as follows.
"The sun, the symbol of light and
warmth par excellence, could not be omitted from the design. Using an ordinary
representation of the sun was not relevant, since it represents the native
energy at the origin of Anisacate; accordingly, the sun was modeled on a
Comechingón pictograph.
The white triangle reflects the place's historical
trajectory until now, and also towards future with power and positive
direction. The triangle is also a symbolic representation of coherence between
feeling, thinking and acting in the search for a third, conciliating position
that would anticipate potential conflicts emerging from duality."
The
celestial blue stripe represents the sky, the other blue stripe represents
rivers, and the green stripe represents flora and fauna. The thin white stripe
represents "the North Road heading to our municipality".
