In the Bierzo region [NW Leon, unofficial capital Ponferrada] a diagonally parted flag, white top hoist and light blue lower fly is very frequently used.

Jaume Ollé, 20 June 1999

Administratively, El Bierzo is a comarca —a subprovincial administrative area— occupying about 25% of Leon province, most of the NW part of it. Here is a map of Leon province with its comarcas. However, I believe that Bercian autonomists / separatists / etc. also consider parts of Ourense province (Galicia).

Santiago Dotor, 22 September 199
