The flag, designed by Olmedo Carpio, is horizontally divided
white-green-yellow with the municipal coat of arms in the center. White is a
symbol of culture, peace and ethics of the village, which is covered from
January to April by a snow coat. Dark green is a symbol of the wide pastures
dedicated to cattle breeding that exist in the upper part of the parish and of
agricultural products as a a source of food for the households. Yellow

The coat of arms, designed by Jaime Bautista, shows on an oval shield the
local landscape. The shield is surmounted by a crown, a symbol of dignity and
sovereignty, supported by two men, representing force, work and faith, standing
on two crosses. Beneath the shield, a book representing knowledge is placed over
two farming tools crossed in saltire, representing daily work.
