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 - Est� compuesta por dos franjas iguales que le dan forma rectangular. La franja superior es de color blanco cuyo significado ha sido considerado por la pureza del agua de la regi�n, del aire y del esp�ritu transparente de los doradenses para comprometerse en grandes empresas. La franja inferior es de color rojo que se interpreta como el del sacrificio, la entrega, la lucha y la constancia de todo un pueblo para convertirse en una gran ciudad."
