This city of 34,289 inhabitants was founded in 1775. The
municipal flag of Vega Alta draws its inspiration from the
municipal coat of arms 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 coat of arms by the
olive leaves. White conveys to us the purity of the Patron[ess]
Saint.
