The flag and arms of Moraleja del Vino are prescribed by a Decree
adopted on 27 November 1998 by the Municipal Council, signed on 20 November 2002 by the
Mayor, and published on 26 December 2002 in the
official gazette of Castilla y León, No. 239, p. 16,703 (text).
The symbols are described as follows:
Flag: Rectangular flag, with proportions 2:3, made of nine horizontal stripes, the outer and central stripes red with proportions 3/16 and 1/4, the intermediate stripes blue fimbriated white with proportions 3/32 and 3/64, respectively.
Coat of arms: Per fess, 1. Argent a bunch of grapes azure slipped and leaved vert, 2. Gules an open book argent. The shield surmounted with a Royal crown closed.
The symbols were validated by the Royal Academy of History (Boletín
de la Real Academia de la Historia, 2001, 198, 404-405).
The arms form a rebus of the village's name, the books representing moral (moraleja) while the grapes
represent wine (vino).
