of Castilla y León, No. 96, p. 7,695 (text).
The symbols are described as follows:
Flag: Rectangular flag, with proportions 2:3, made of seven horizontal stripes with proportions 1:5, 1:10, 1:10, 1:5, 1:10, 1:10 and 1:5, from top to bottom, blue, white, yellow,white, yellow, white and blue.

The bridge must represent the local medieval bridge over river Esla, known as the Deustamben Bridge, named for its putative architect, Pedro Deustamben (12th century).
