Spain

The national flag of Spain consists of three horizontal stripes in red, yellow and red, with the national coat of arms positioned toward the hoist. Red symbolizes bravery and strength, while yellow represents generosity and the nation's wealth. The coat of arms reflects the historical kingdoms that united to form modern Spain and the country's constitutional monarchy.

Spain officially adopted its current national flag on December 19, 1981, although the red and yellow colors have been associated with Spain since 1785, when King Charles III introduced them for the national navy. The present design incorporates the modern coat of arms established after the 1978 Constitution.
