Green with three superimposed crosses (throughout), white, red and white, whose arms are as wide as 1/2, 1/3 and 1/6 the flag's height. Ratio 2:3. Quite shockingly, the image on the official source (which Blas Delgado followed to prepare the above image) does not match the description. Colours from the coat-of-arms. The cross represents the flag (white cross on a red field) carried on the coat-of-arms by the paschal lamb, which in turn stands for St. John the Baptist. Flag adopted 30th April 1999.

The image on the official source (which Blas Delgado followed to prepare his image) does not match the description, as the crosses appear to be roughly 1/3, 2/9 and 1/9 of the flag's height. The above image shows the hoist half looking like the 'official' image, the fly half like the official description. Source: Fluvià 2001.
