Symbols of Marugán

The flag and arms of Marugán are prescribed by a Decree adopted on 28 April 1998 by the Segovia Provincial Government, signed on 8 May 1998 by the President of the Government, and published on 27 May 1998 in the official gazette of Castile and León, No. 98 (text).
The symbols are described as follows:

Flag: Quadrangular flag, with proportions 1:1, horizontally divided blue, yellow and blue. In the middle of the flag is placed the municipal coat of arms in full colors.
Coat of arms: Per pale, 1a. Vert an abbot's crozier or per pale, 1b. Azure an Alfonso VII's Mozarabic cross proper, 2. Gules a two-staged aqueduct masoned sable over ten rocks argent. The shield surmounted with a Royal Spanish crown.

The Royal Academy of History rejected the use in municipal heraldry of non traditional elements such as the plain bordure [not mentioned in the Decree, therefore probably dropped] or historically spurious, such as the "Mozarabic cross". The proposed flag is acceptable, provided the arms are modified as recommended (Boletín de la Real Academia de la Historia, 2000, 197, 1: 175).
