The flag and the coat of arms are shown as drawings on a PDF
document available on the website of the Association of
Ecuadorian Municipalities.
The very same symbols are erroneously assigned to the Canton of Archidona, the same
document being shown under the heading "Cantonal symbols
of Archidona":
Here is the translation of the text shown at <ecuador.derecho.org>
(defunct - located by Falko Schmidt, 12 November 2001)
partially reproduced on the municipal
website:
"Article 5.
- The canton's flag is made of three colours, green, white and
yellow, arranged in horizontal and triangular panels, with the
green and white colours in greater proportion and the yellow
colour in lesser triangular proportion. The flag has the
following characteristics:
- The canton's flag is made of three colours, green, white and
yellow; its overall shape is rectangular, green and white
colouring horizontally two equal stripes. The yellow colour forms
a triangle covering one third of the flag; its point reaches the
edge of the green and white colours.
- Green means the fauna and flora biodiversity included in the
ancient forest, the ecotourism resource of our canton, and also
the hope of a better future for the inhabitants.
- Yellow means the gold of our rivers and soils, the agronomic
resources, the climate and the hospitality of the inhabitants.
- White means God's kindness, purity, truth, the helping hand
offered to those in need, peace and understanding of natural and
human adversity."
