El Sauzal's flag was plain white with the coat of arms in its centre. I spotted this flag on 30 January 2007 in the Military Museum Sta. Cruz d. T.

Coat of Arms

The shield is divided per fess:

  • In the base you can see a green willow tree in a silver (white) field. Willow trees ("sauzes") gave the municipality its name.
  • In the chief you can see a golden (yellow) key crossed with a silver (white) one, both connected by a silver stole with golden embroideries in a blue field. The keys are attributes of St. Peter, he being patron of the municipality.
  • The shield is topped by a coronet.
The coat of arms was established by decree on 21 October 1960, published in BOE on 14 November 1960.
