The current flag of Andalusia was adopted in 1918. Blas Infante (1885–1936), the "Father of the Andalusian Fatherland" (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.), initiated an assembly at Ronda in 1918. This assembly adopted a charter based on the Antequera Constitution (a nationalist Andalusian charter that styled Andalusia as an autonomous republic inside a Spanish federal state; this constitution is known as Constitución Federal de Antequera) and also adopted the current flag of Andalusia and emblem as "national symbols".[1] Its name used to be Arbonaida or also Arbondaira.[2]

The colours of Andalusian flag, green and white, represent hope and peace, as the anthem says:


 La bandera blanca y verde
Vuelve tras siglos de guerra
A sembrar paz y esperanza
Bajo el sol de nuestra tierra.

 The white and green flag
Comes back after centuries of war
To sow peace and hope
Under our land's Sun.
