The flag of Albaladejo del Cuende is prescribed by an Order issued on 14
February 2006 by the Government of Castilla-La Mancha and published on 1
March 2006 in the official gazette of Castilla-La Mancha, No. 46, p. 4,892 (text).
The flag is described as follows:
Flag: Rectangular panel, in proportions 2:3, horizontally divided in the middle. A yellow triangle placed along the hoist, the upper half, white, and the lower half, red. The white, upper half charged in the center with the municipal coat of arms.
The coat of arms of Albaladejo del Cuende is prescribed by an Order
issued on 14 February 2006 by the Government of Castilla-La Mancha and
published on 1 March 2006 in the official gazette of Castilla-La Mancha,
No. 46, pp. 4,892-4,893 (text).
The coat of arms is described as follows:
Coat of arms: Spanish shield. Gules a bridge argent over waves azure and argent ensigned dexter by a watermill argent and sinister by a chapel of the same the whole surmounted by a Count's coronet. The shield surmounted by a Royal Spanish crown.
The Royal Academy of History rejected the proposed coat of arms. The
architectonic representation is excessively complex. Showing a watermill
atop a bridge, that is far from water, is incoherent. It is even less
acceptable to recall the Counts of Valverde, alluded to in the toponym,
by the modern representation of a Count's coronet placed inside the
shield. If necessary, a charge from the counts' arms should be used instead.
The Academy rejected the proposed flag, which includes the rejected coat
of arms, and required the submission of a new proposal of flag and arms.
