According to Heraldica Institucional de Canarias the new flag is a horizontal red over blue bicolour. Maybe the flag is used since 1992 (BOC xx/01/1992).

The municipality of Fasnia is allowed to use a bicoloured flag with coat of arms. (Here I chose the, probably official, tinctures of Erbez. The tinctures of the chief in Sta. Cruz Military Museum were different (darker).

Shield is divided per fess, the chief is slightly bigger. In the chief are two black mountains over two dark blue fessy wavy lines all in a golden (yellow) field. In the base are three golden (yellow) sheaves of grain in a blue field. The shield is topped by a coronet.

• The two rocks are the so-called rocky "towers of Fasnia."
• the three sheaves symbolize the importance of grain agriculture; three is also the number of the village's settlements.
