Symbols of Moraleja de Matacabras

The flag and arms of Moraleja de Matacabras are prescribed by an Agreement adopted on 1 September 2018 by the Municipal Council, signed on 28 February 2019 by the Mayor and published on 15 March 2019 in the official gazette of Castilla y León, No. 52, pp. 12,329-12,330 (text).
The symbols, which are supported by a memoir redacted by Andrés J. Nicolás-Minué Sánchez and were approved on 9 October 2018 by the Chronicler of Arms of Castilla y León, are described as follows:

Flag: Panel in proportions 1:1; width to length, divided into four quarters: the upper hoist quarter, green, charged with a bell tower argent; the upper fly quarter, red, charged with a little bustard argent; the lower hoist quarter, blue charged with a wind argent; the lower fly quarter, golden yellow, a grapevine proper. The shield's width is 2/3 of the flag's width. (Panel's proportions according to Article 13 of Decree No. 105 issued in 9 May 1991 by the Government of Castilla y León).
Coat of arms: Spanish shield, oblong with rounded-off base. Quarterly, 1. Vert (green) a bell tower argent, 2. Gules a little bustard argent, 3. Azure a wind argent, 4. Or a grapevine proper. The shield surmounted by a Royal crown closed [detailed description skipped] (Shape of the shield and crown according to Articles 11 and 12 of Decree No. 105 issued in 9 May 1991 by the Government of Castilla y León).

The flag is therefore a banner of the municipal arms, which were designed from scratch by Institución Gran Duque de Alba.
The first quarter represents the churchs bell tower (15th-16th centuries); the second quarter alludes to the local abundance in little bustards; the wind in the third quarter makes the arms canting, referring to a strong northern wind locally known as matacabras ("goat killer"),; the fourth quarter recalls grapevine cultivation in the municipality.
