San Alberto is municipality (since 20 May 1955) in Cesar
Department.
The flag of San Alberto is diagonally divided (bottom hoist to
upper fly) golden yellow-forest green with border stripe in
sky-blue (wikipedia
show it, wrongly as black stripe). The flag is charged with
African Palm and five white stars around it. The stars represent
the five "corregimientos" (sub-municipal entities) of
this municipality.

Translated from municipal
web site:
"Golden yellow recalls the colour of ripe rice panicles and
splendidly embelishes harvest time.
The sky blue stripe symbolizes our river San Alberto del
Espíritu Santo, our ponds and our main water resources.
Forest green highlights the rnatural esources of our fecund soil.
The African palm has always been our main source of income and of
progress.
The five white stars represents our beautiful
"corregimientos", places of peace and rurla love (La
Llana, La Palma, Puerto Carreño, El Líbano and La
Trinidad."
The production of palm oil by the "Indupalma"
plantation, founded in the mid 1960s is the source of income of
three-quarters of the inhabitants of the municipal capital. Most
of the other inhabitants indirectly live from the same resource.
