I located a flag at
pueblos-de-puertorico.com site (defunct). Description of CoA and
flag at Lexjuris
site. Fajardo is in northeast Puerto Rico, the port of
ferries to Culebra and Vieques islands. There are 40.000 inh. ;
Fajardo was founded 1760.

Fajardo (a Spanish Last Name) - It's a tricolor triband. Gules
(red) the upper one, symbolizing the color of the shield's border.
Silver (white) the center one, standing for color of the main
pieces that appear in the blazon and the crown. Azure (blue) the
lower one, representing the color of the sky and the sea of
Fajardo. At center, the Coat of Arms of the village (villa) in
natural colors.

Recently, I passed by Fajardo while visiting nearby Ceiba.
What was my surprise when I saw the flag of Fajardo floating in
the city entrance, alongside the US and PR flags. It has the
central CoA inside a white square in the middle of the flag,
similar to the former Duvalier's Haiti flag. The CoA seems to
be the same size as the up-to-now official flag. The size of
the white square is an approximation.
