historical coat-of-arms [meaning there is no known adoption date]:
Ciudad y castillo de Gibralfaro, situado con las torres hacia la derecha, con el corral de los Cautivos en un campo colorado, los presos y cautivos sombrados de blanco y negro, y un par de las torres de Gibralfaro con las imágenes de los Santos Bienaventurados Mártires San Ciriaco y Santa Paula con resplandores de oro, manto azul y túnica dorada y el sobrecuello de Santa Paula dorado. A la izquierda doce bandas alternadas de rojo y amarillo. Al pie las ondas del mar plateadas en campo azul. Orladura con el yugo y las flechas dorados en campo verde la mitad y la otra mitad morado. Rematado el escudo con corona ducal.

The flag appears to combine the field of the Maritime Province flag with a coat-of-arms similar (but with more elements) to that in the flag of Málaga City.
