Flags Galore

You see a lot of flags on La Palma. Most English visitors will recognise the flags of Spain and the European Union.



But the Canary Islands are an autonomous region within Spain, and they have their own flag too. You see it a lot, especially around May 30th, which is Canary Day.


And then each island has its own flag. Here’s the flag of La Palma:

And as if that weren’t enough, La Palma has 14 municipalities, each of which twelve has its own flag.

Santa Cruz	Breña Baja	Los Llanos
Puntagorda	Puntallana	Tazacorte
El Paso	Barlovento	Breña Alta
Garafía	Mazo	Tijarafe
Fuencaliente	San Andres y Sauces

(The other two municipalities are San Andres y Sauces and Fuencaliente)
