Bermeo's flag is used so much in the proportion 2:3 like in 1:2. Though it is adopted by the population, it is not regulated officially.

The flag of Bermeo is rectangular; proportion 1:2. It will be divided vertically in two halves, the hoist half red (PANTONE 186C) and the other one white. The flag of Bermeo is defined and approved thus definitively in the Plenary session of the City council of 28 of April of 2004.
Aingeru Astui Zarraga, 27 Sep 2004
The flag of the municipality of Bermeo (Biscay) has been definitively approved by the General Council of Biscay Province last November 30th. It is, possibly, the only flag approved by unanimity in this parliament, since the PP party has objected systematically to the approval of new flags.

The Guidon will be red crimson dark, proportions 1:1, with the arms of the City centered by both faces. The height of the shield will be the half of the height of the guidon, with the corresponding width, without outer adornments. The municipal guidon replaces the standard in the places where it is not advisable to exhibit. It is established that it is hoisted on the ship on which the City council is embarked to go to Izaro island on St. Mary Magdalen's day, and on Saint John of Gaztelugatxe island on the day of San Juan (29 of August).
