I am shocked !
This flag has a very similar design to the flag of the parish-district of Gijon (Asturias, Spain) called Somió, where I live.
I designed the flag myself in 2002, to have it officially approved in January 2003. I thought it was extremely distinctive!
The district flag of Somió, municipality of Gijón, is a rectangular flag, proportions 2:3, divided diagonally from the bottom  hoist to the upper fly.
Green , Pantone  361, on top, and white on the bottom.
On the canton, a yellow, Pantone 109, squirrel.  On the bottom fly, a red, Pantone 485, ten pointed star.
The green represents the rural character of the district, on Gijón´s countryside. The squirrel is a symbol of the neighbourhood, as these animals live along with the residents.
The red star on white represents the fact that Somió belongs to Gijón, being red and white Gijón´s colors. The star has ten points for the 10 parts in which Somió is divided: Caserías, San Lorenzo, La Pipa, El Pi
