The flag of Otero (photo) is prescribed by an Order issued on 15 November 2002 by the Government of Castilla-La Mancha and published on 29 November 2002 in the official gazette of Castilla-La Mancha, No. 149, p. 17,481 (text).
The flag is described as follows:
Flag: Rectangular, in proportions 2:3, composed of a white triangle running from the hoist to the fly's midpoint, charged with a green triangle with a white pillory, running from the hoist to 1/12 from the flag's fly, at fly the upper triangle, red, and the lower, blue.
The coat of arms of Otero is prescribed by an Order issued on 15 November 2002 by the Government of Castilla-La Mancha and published on 29 November 2002 in the official gazette of Castilla-La Mancha, No. 149, p. 17,481 (text).
The coat of arms is described as follows:
Coat of arms: Per pale, 1. Argent a pillory gules on a mount [otero] vert, 2. Azure a star argent. The shield surmounted by a Spanish Royal crown.
The pillory was erected after the status of villa had been granted, in 1669 to Otero. The pillory, made of bricks, has a very unusual, tronconic shape. The cross that surmounts the monument was most probably added later.
