Presentation of La Vid y Barrios

The municipality of La Vid y Barrios (262 inhabitants in 2014; 3,758 ha; municipal website) is located in the south of the Province of Burgos, on the border with the Province of Segovia, 100 km Burgos. The municipality is made of the villages of Guma (61 inh.), Linares de la Vid (105 inh.) and Zuzones (115 inh.).

Linares de la Vid, aka La Vid, was established in the 1950s to relocate the inhabitants of Linares del Arroyo (Segovia), a village that was flooded in 1951 to build Lake Linares. The National Institute of Colonization purchased the old estate of La Vid y Guma, once the site of a village inhabited by 13 households, but deserted long ago.
The village of La Vid (60 houses) was first built to accommodate the newcomers. Guma (42 houses) was subsequently established to accommodate colonists coming from villages from the Provinces of Guadalajara, Cuenca, Segovia and Valladolid. Each household was granted a plot of arable land; in the 1960-1970s, the industrialization of Madrid and Barcelona caused massive emigration from the village.
Zuzones is the last Spanish municipal entity by alphabetic order. Remains from the Roman period seem to indicate that the place was then use as a cemetery for neighbouring bigger settlements.

The Augustinian monastery of Santa María de la Vid was established around a Romanesque church, erected in 1152-1159, of which nearly nothing has remained. The today's abbey church, designed in the 16th century by Sebastián de Oria, Pedro de Rasines and Juan de Vallejo, keeps masterpieces such as a wooden Virgin in Gothic style (13th century) and an altarpiece by Antonio de Elejalde (16th century). The monastery has two cloisters (16th century, restored in the 18th century) and a library composed of more than 60,000 volumes, including a Quran written on parchment (1134).

The flag and arms of Linares de La Vid, approved on 30 January 2004 by the Village Council, are prescribed by a Decree adopted on 7 May 2004 by the Village Council, signed the same day by the Mayor, and published on 26 May 2004 in the official gazette of Castilla y León, No. 99, pp. 7,098-7,099 (text).
The symbols are described as follows:

Flag: Two horizontal stripes, green on top and red on bottom, at hoist a white triangle charged with the coat of arms.
Coat of arms: It represents the words "Linares", "Vid" and "Arroyo", as follows:

- "Vid" ["a grapevine"] is represented by a bunch of grapes, recalling that the area is a land of wine-growing par excellence;
- "Arroyo" ["a brook"] is represented by the course of water of a river or brook.
