Flag of Campos

The flag of Campos is prescribed by a Resolution adopted on 22 October 2001 by the Majorca Insular Council, promulgated on 31 October 2001 by the President of the Council and published on 11 December 2001 in the Spanish official gazette, No. 296, p. 46,403. (text).
The flag is described as follows:

Flag: The flag of Campos shall be rectangular on a background matching at best the soil of the municipality, that is, red, charged in the center with the coat of arms, described in a separate document as follows: A bear standing or rampant looking at left and surmounted by a Royal crown. The colors shall be brown reddish for the bear and silver gray for the background.

The coat of arms of Campos is prescribed by a Resolution adopted on 22 October 2001 by the Majorca Insular Council, promulgated on 31 October 2001 by the President of the Council and published on 11 December 2001 in the Spanish official gazette, No. 296, p. 46,403. (text).
The coat of arms is described as follows:

Coat of arms: A bear standing or rampant looking at left. The colors shall be brown reddish for the bear and silver gray for the background, with a lilac orle.

The adoption of the bear as the charge of the municipal coat of arms stirred some discussion.
The coat of arms engraved on the facade of the Town Hall, dated 1642, rather features a wild dog, that is, a wolf. One of the oldest religious buildings of Campos is the chapel dedicated to St. Blasius, erected in the 13th century. St. Blasius was the traditional protector of throat, since the saint is said to have saved a child who had swallowed a fish bone. The legend further reports that St. Blasius forced a wolf to spit out a pig he had eaten. Accordingly, St. Blasius' iconographical symbol is a wolf.
