Overview

The image is based on Gaceta de Banderas 15, "Simbolos Patrios" Gobernación de Caldas, Secretaríade Educación Departamental.

I must stress that this source is a poor indicator of the actual proportions of the municipal flags. Some flags are just annexed to the Coat of Arms in a square proportion. Two of these flags were presented previously in a 2:1 proportion. Many of these flags could be such. I think it will be wise to place a note that indicates that the true proportions of these flags could be 2:1 also.

From <www.gobernaciondecaldas.gov.co>:
"La bandera del municipio de Neira está partida en tres fajas: una verde en sentido vertical, que es la parte enastada y que equivale a una tercera parte del ancho total. Las otras dos terceras partes del ancho total van divididas en dos fajas horizontalmente iguales, quedando la blanca en la parte superior y la roja en la parte inferior.
La faja esmeraldina, representa la esperanza del pueblo y el verdor de las montañas y plantíos.
La blanca significa la pureza de sentimientos y las virtudes cívicas que acompañan al neirano.
La roja, el amor por el terruño neirano."
