Each rural parish in Azuay (with the likely exception of Paccha) has its own flag. As tradition with much of Latin America, most flags are very basic in format.
Being basic makes it easier for flags to be created by inhabitants, such as for a parade, etc. There are only a few flags that
do not use any of the following: two/three stripes of equal length or a triangle. Blue, green, and yellow, which are usually found
on these flags, show the importance of water, nature, and wealth (typically from mining) to the inhabitants of this region.
Most often, the governments of parishes add some detail to their flags for use by themselves, costing more but helping to identify them.
This detail generally involves lettering or a coat of arms. For some places, there is a possibility that the parochial flag is only used
by the government.

*A link will only be generated if the urban parish is known to have its own distinctive flag, in order to reduce confusion about which ones simply use the flag of their cantonal head.
*Note that all of the urban parishes that are not a cantonal head belong to the Cuenca Canton. Urban parishes in Azuay do not have a government outside of their canton; they are instead
administrated directly by the canton's government
*If you would like to see the flags of the cantons to which the urban parishes belong, please see the Azuay Province homepage.
