The Spanish flag has stripes of red above and below a wider band of yellow, containing a simplified version of Spain's coat-of-arms.

Stripes of Yellow and Red

Represents gold and blood.

Coat of Arms

Each of the four quadrants of the coat of arms represents one of the four kingdoms that were merged to form a unified Spain at the end of the 15th century. Namely, the kingdoms are: Castile, represented by the castle, León, represented by the lion, Aragón, represented by the vertical alternating red and yellow stripes (four red stripes, five yellow stripes), and Navarre, represented by the linked chains. Also the Moorish kingdom of Granada is represented by the pomegranate fruit in the bottom of the coat of arms. The impaled fleur de lis represents the ruling House of Borbón. The two columns with the "plus ultra" ensign (meaning "further beyond" in Latin) represent Spanish discovery and colonization of America, the columns being the mythological Pillars of Hercules (of the Strait of Gibraltar, gateway to the Atlantic Ocean).

---

The colors red and yellow date from the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella in the late 15th century. The yellow part is a symbol of generosity and the red part reflects the hardiness and bravery of the country.

The colours of the Spanish flag represent the colours of the oldest Spanish kingdoms, the red of Leon, and the red and yellow of Castile,

According to urban legend the colors of Spain's flag represent a bullfighting arena

Red- blood of the arena

Yellow- sand of arena
The colors in Spain's flag actually don't, technically, represent anything. The colors were actually chosen in a 1785 contest among eleven other designs.

The Spanish flag is red and yellow, with or without the Spanish coat-of-arms.

There are two narrow red stripes, top and bottom, with a wider yellow band in the middle, where the coat-of-arms appears.

(see illustration link)

  • The flag of Spain consists of three horizontal stripes: red, yellow and red, the yellow stripe being twice the size of each red stripe.
  • This flag had been adopted since 6 December 1978 and is established in the Spanish Constitution.

The Spanish flag has a horizontal red bar at the top and bottom with a yellow bar in between. The colors seem to derive from the heraldic colors of the Crown of Aragon.

The colours do not represent anything tangible, rather they are based on the colours in the Coat Of Arms of the Crown Of Aragon, which bear four red pallets on a gold background.
