The flag and arms of Altable are prescribed by a Decree adopted on 20 October 2002 by the Municipal Council and published on 22 November 2002 in the official gazette of Castile and León, No. 227, p. 15,560 (text).
The symbols are described as follows:
Flag: Castilian, quadrangular, encajada y flechada, with the first field plain white and the second field green (vert). [...] In the middle of the second field, the full coat of arms of Altable.
Coat of arms: Per pale flechado, 1a. Azure a hand holding a spike, a rose and a poppy all argent, 1b. gules a cross of wood sable pointing towards the cantons, 2. Vert a fountain roofed and masoned sable with water waves inside and flowing to the base. The shield surmounted with a Royal crown closed.
flechado means that the lower field of the coat of arms "enters" the upper field in a arrow (flecha) pattern, parallel to the fountain's roof.
