Guía de Isora's flag is plain white with the coat of arms in its centre. I spotted this flag on 30 January in the Military Museum in Sta. Cruz d. T.

Coat of Arms
The coat of arms is a rectangular shield divided per fess. On the chief in a blue field two arms are shaking hands, that one coming from dexter chief is bare, that one coming from sinister chief is in full silver armor. Probably the chief is symbolizing peace between Castilians and Guanches. On the base a green tree(sinister) and a green mountain(dexter) on green ground are placed in a silver (white) field. The shield has a blue border with eight golden dots. The shield is
topped by a crown.

- The scene on the chief symbolizes peace between Castilians and Guanches; the latter are represented by the bare arm of their princess Isora, who gave – according to a legend – the municipality its name.
- The mountain on the base is the Viejo, also called Chamorra, while the tree is the so called Almácigo de Chajajo,
considered a symbol of the municipality for ages.
- The "dots" upon the bordure are indeed 8-point stars – according to terms of Spanish heraldry images of the morning star or evening star, i.e. the planet Venus. (You can see this in the blow-up image of the source.) The stars are here symbols of the Virgin of the Lights, the municipality's patron. One of her titles, used in adoration, is "guardian" or guía, forming the other part of the municipality's name.
The coat of arms was established by decree 2196/1971 on 23 July 1971.
