Translated from municipal
web site:
"The colours of the flag are white, representing peace and
tranquillity in our municipality, green symbolizing agriculture
and our soils' fertility, the cattle's head and the maize plant
refelcting the main sources of income of the region."
This description has nearly nothing to do with the image shown on
the municipal website!
