In the Flags of Aspirant Peoples chart appears "61. Aragon (Arago) - North Spain." Similar to es-ar.gif in FOTW, but with emblem centered.

Government decisions on local Aragonese flags with descriptions on separate pages: Samper de Salz, Santa Cruz de Moncayo, Piedratajada, Manchones, Anento (all in Zaragoza province), Caminreal (Teruel), Villanúa (Huesca).

Jarig Bakker, 10 June 1999

The amount of Spanish local flags can be guessed from the fact that that list only has the towns/villages whose flags were approved in one of the weekly meetings of the Aragonese autonomous government. Even if not every week there are flags adopted in autonomous governments' meetings, imagine how many flags can be adopted in a year's meetings - then multiply that by 17 autonomous communities and 2 autonomous cities... The official website mentioned by Jarig Bakker has a new address by the way: try the Aragonese Autonomous Government website and simply put "bandera" in the "TITULO" field and press "BUSCAR". You will get quite a lot of legislation on Aragonese flags. In Spanish though...

Santiago Dotor, 11 June 1999

The approval of flags in Aragon has a special system and of course weekly decision is not taken. In Aragon two factions made the flags proposals, one is vexillological and amateur, the other is technical and was created for money. This last one seems that has currently the favour of the regional government. The proposed designs accepted by the local powers are submitted to the regional government to give their approval. I believe currently most Aragonese municipalities have flags and only a minority lack one.

Jaume Ollé, 18 June 1999

The official bulletin of Aragon can be found at their website. It is possible there to search for some official texts concerning flags (bandera(s) [sample search here]). In Spanish only. Some recent laws are available as PDF documents, flags in black and white.
