EL HIERRO
Order 18-5-1987, B.O.C. 29-5-1987
Apparently, it is based on a symbol in the shape of a flag that was used in the Bajada de la Virgen de los Reyes (Descent of Our Lady of the Kings, patron saint of the island), the island’s main celebration, in 1953. The triangle represents esquematically the shape of the island; the white symbolizes the clouds, the foam of the sea, the penant that every four years crowns the Bajada and the mist that distils water from the Garoé tree (sacred for the aboriginals); the green stands for the mountains, the vineyards, the fruit trees and the Garoé tree; the blue is for the sea horizon.
