Description

La Gomera island has an official flag since May 30th 1999 (the day was chosen since it is the Canary Islands Day). It has been approved by the Cabildo Insular (island council) but not yet published in the Boletín Oficial. La Gomera's coat-of-arms is almost identical to that of Lanzarote island, the only differences in La Gomera being the crown (a count's crown, instead of a marquis' crown in Lanzarote) and a thin gold fimbriation between the field and the bordure (both gules as in Lanzarote). Otherwise, they are both "gules two cauldrons or, a bordure charged with cauldrons or".
