The flag of La Frontera is prescribed by an Order issued on 30 March
2006 by the Government of Castilla-La Mancha and published on 13 April
2006 in the official gazette of Castilla-La Mancha, No. 78, p. 8,553 (text).
The flag is described as follows:
Flag: Rectangular in proportions 2:3, made of a red panel with a white stripe of 1/10 of the flag's width, running from hoist's lower part to the fly's upper part, the upper triangle charged with a white castle with black port and windows at 1/3 of the hoist.
The coat of arms of La Frontera is prescribed by an Order issued on 30
March 2006 by the Government of Castilla-La Mancha and published on 13
April 2006 in the official gazette of Castilla-La Mancha, No. 78, p. 8,553 (text).
The coat of arms is described as follows:
Coat of arms: Gules a bend argent surrounded dexter by a castle argent masoned and port and windows sable sinister by a bundle of three spikes or. The shield surmounted by A Royal Spanish crown.
The Royal Academy of History found the proposed arms "acceptable without
any inconvenience". Unfortunately, the bend of the shield is changed to
a bend sinister on the flag, where only one of the two charges of the
shield is maintained. This incoherence caused the rejection of the
proposed symbols. A new proposal was expected, where the flag, if a
banner of the arms, would strictly matches the proposed arms.
