Description

I spent some days in Cantabria in August 2000. Santillana del Mar ("the most beautiful village in Spain", according to Jean Paul Sartre) has a red flag with two parallel, widely separated, thin green stripes going from the top hoist to bottom fly, and a small coat-of-arms on the top fly. On the flag samples I saw (displayed at the town hall and the nearby Parador Nacional for instance), the stripes were much thinner than in Eduardo Panizo's image and I do not recall any yellow fimbriations.
