We can't pinpoint the date of the discovery of the islands now known as the Canaries, but we can say with certainty that they were known, or at least postulated about, in ancient times. In his dialogues Timaeus and Critias, Plato (428-348 BC) spoke of Atlantis, a continent sunk deep into the ocean floor in a great cataclysm that left only the peaks of its highest mountains above the water.
The archipelago’s rich history has been recorded since the 1st century when Roman explorers came across what they believed to be uninhabited islands. Although records were made of the discovery of the ruined buildings, little is known about the inhabitants before this time. As more European explorers detailed the islands, they encountered an indigenous population functioning on a Neolithic level. Collectively, these tribes were referred to as Guanches.
The banner of the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands was formally received on August 16, 1982. The banner is rectangular with three vertical stripes. One left side is a white stripe, a blue stripe is in the middle, and a yellow stripe is on the right side. In the middle of the banner is the crest of the Canary Islands.
The flag was designed in the 1960s during the Canary Islands Independence Movement, or the Movement for the Independence and Self-determination of the Canaries Archipelago. The movement largely used violence to attempt to achieve independence for the Canary Islands from the Spanish government by force.
The banner of the Canary Islands consolidates the shades of two of the archipelago's regions. The region of Santa Cruz de Tenerife flew a blue and white banner; and the region of Las Palmas.
By customs, the white shading speaks of the water that falls off of the mountains, the yellow speaks of the yellow canary warbler, and the blue speaks of the divine blue sky. The Flag Company Inc had some expertise in banner outlines offered an uncommon release of decals and banners to retain the history of Canary Island Flag for the future generations.
