Yellow flag with two bottom stripes, red and blue, each as wide as 1/6 of the flag's height. On the canton, a black mace as high as 4/9 of the flag's height. Colours from the coat-of-arms. The mace (maça) is a canting charge and the red and blue stripes stand for the red goat (cabra) and the blue chessrook (roc) on the coat-of-arms, both of them also canting for the formerly ruling families of Serrallonga-Cabrenys and Rocabertí. Ratio 2:3. Flag adopted 21st September 1998. Source for image and text: Fluvià 2001. The image in this source shows the mace as grey, rather than black as in the official description.
