The flag of La Pesquera is prescribed by an Order issued on 3 April 2002
by the Government of Castilla-La Mancha and published on 22 April 2002
in the official gazette of Castilla-La Mancha, No. 49, p. 6,598 (text).
The flag is described as follows:
Flag: Rectangular, in proportions 2:3. The panel's first third, at hoist, diagonally divided, the upper part, white, and the lower part, red; the two other thirds horizontally divided in the middle, the upper half, green, and the lower, blue.
The coat of arms of La Pesquera is prescribed by an Order issued on 3
April 2002 by the Government of Castilla-La Mancha and published on 22
April 2002 in the official gazette of Castilla-La Mancha, No. 49, p. 6,598 (text).
The coat of arms is described as follows:
Coat of arms: Per fess, 1. Vert a mountain goat or, 2. Azure a bridge argent in base a fish of the same. The shield surmounted by a Spanish crown.
The Royal Academy of History rejected the proposed symbols.
The proposed arms feature an excessive number of charges; municipal arms
should be distinctive at first sight and not a compendium of all kind of
characteristics of the place. The Academy recommended to improve the
design by coloring the goat or and the bridge argent to improve contrast
from the field. The bridge should be bigger so that it reaches the
shield's border, in compliance with traditional representations, while
the fish should be smaller. The Academy proposed arms [which were
eventually simplified]: "Per fess, 1a. Vert a mountain goat or, 1b. Per
bend gules and argent a millstone or, 2. Azure a bridge argent in base a
fish of the same. The shield surmounted by a Spanish Royal crown."
The Academy found inappropriate the attempt of reproducing the design of
the arms in the proposed flag but arranging the quarters differently
and to superimpose them with the coat of arms. The Academy proposed two
solutions, either remove the arms from the flag [which was done] or
change the design of the field.
