The flag consists of three
horizontal stripes, of equal size, joined together, with the colors: Blue, Ivory
and Green.
The upper stripe, colored Blue, symbolizes the waters of the
seas and rivers of the jurisdiction; On the left is a Miter that represents the
dignity of the bishopric held by the eponymous Monsignor Francisco José Iturriza
Guillen in the Diocese of Coro for half a century, plus three stars that
represent the Parishes of the Municipality.
The central strip is ivory in
color, which includes the sands and salt flats that cover the continental and
island beaches, in the middle of this band a resplendent Sun is sighted with a
Pink Flamingo inside, which identify the light that illuminates towards a better
future and the birds that inhabit this territory.
