History

Green - white flags have a tradition in Andalusia since the Middle Ages. In the battle of Alarcos ( 1195), the Andalusian volunteers fought under a green banner. To celebrate their victory over Castile it was put together with the white banner of the Almohads on the minaret of the mosque of Seville. The Emirate of Granada, the last Muslim kingdom in Spain, used a red banner, but most banners that were conquered by the Castilians in 1483, were green and white.

Rebelled in 1521, the people of Seville as a result of food shortages. They used a green banner, which gave the name of the unrest uprising of the Green banner. 1642 tried to set up an independent Kingdom of Spain under a green and white flag of the Duke of Medina Sidonia.

By 1900, used a federalist revolution in Casares, a green and white flag. 1918 chose the Ronda Federalist meeting the green-white- green flag as a symbol of Andalusia. Proposed she had Blas Infante (1885-1936), the founder of the Andalusian nationalism, which comes from Casares. White should remember the Almohad and green to the Umayyads. The two green stripes stood for the rivers Guadiana and Guadalquivir. Although the Guadiana does not flow through the present Andalusia, but at that time the borders were not determined exactly and partially Badajoz and Murcia were included as well.
