The flag of Ampuero is a rectangular field divided into three horizontal stripes of equal width: the upper one yellow, the middle one white and the lower one blue. The municipal coat of arms sits in the geometric centre.
It is a de facto flag: the town council uses it, but there is no record of any formal approval with a date or a ratio.
Ampuero is a municipality in the autonomous community of Cantabria, on the Cantabrian coast. The flag has been in use since at least 2022, according to the official town council profile on social media, which is the source that describes it.
There is no decree or date of adoption. The reference file marks it as de facto and its ratio as not stated.
No earlier versions are documented. Since no formal approval is known, neither can it be said that there have been changes.

Most Spanish municipal flags have a decree with a date and an exact ratio. Ampuero does not: it is used, but no formal approval is recorded, and its ratio is described as not stated. It is a de facto flag, made by use rather than by decree.
The design is a horizontal tricolour of equal stripes —yellow, white and blue— with the coat of arms on top. Yellow and blue sit at the two ends and white in the middle.
The description of this flag comes from Ampuero’s official profile on social media. It is a municipal source, but not a legal text: that is why the flag can be dated by its publication rather than by its approval.
