The flag of San Juan de Rambla is white with five light blue (FIAV-code B-) fessy wavy lines and the coat of arms shifted to the hoist. I spotted this flag on 30 January in Military Museum in Sta. Cruz d. T.

The pattern described in BOC differs: the five waves are situated in the lower half of flag, while the coat of arms is in its centre. The size of the coat of arms is not described there, so I chose the default, 2/3 of total height.

In a light blue shield (FIAV-code B-) is the holy lamb of God, in white colour with a brown cross with white ribbons upon four blue and white fessy wavy lines. In the dexter chief is a white scallop. The shield is topped by a crown.

• Lamb and scallop are attributes of St. John the Baptist, the municipality's patron.
• The waves symbolize the maritime character of the village and its small coast.
