This city of 34,289 inhabitants was founded in 1775. The
municipal flag of Vega Alta draws its inspiration from the
municipal CoA as well as its symbolism and colours, except that
the silver is changed into white. [The width of all stripes is
indicated... except for the central one] Each colour has a
precise meaning. For instance, blue is in honour of its Patron
[Patroness?] Saint the Immaculate Conception of Mary. Green is in
honour of the unforgettable Don Francisco de los Olivos, who is
explicitly represented on the CoA by the olive leaves. White
conveys to us the purity of the Patron[ess] Saint.
