Re: Flags
They are the flags of Andalusia, the white having its origins in the Arab rule and the green was the Andalusian volunteers'. Probably flying because of the elections, and the desire for independence from Spain so national pride.
As the Andalusia anthem goes.....
La bandera blanca y verde
vuelve, tras siglos de guerra,
a decir paz y esperanza,
bajo el sol de nuestra tierra.
(The green and white flag
returns after centuries of war
to tell of peace and hope
under our land's sunshine.)
¡Andaluces, levantaos!
¡Pedid tierra y libertad!
¡Sea por Andalucía libre,
España y la Humanidad!.
(Andalusians, stand up!
Claim for land and freedom
May it be for a free Andalusia,
Spain, and Mankind.)
