This city of 19,891 inhabitants was founded in 1811. The four
green rectangles symbolize our valleys and mountains. The golden
cross represents the fidelity to our Patron Saint, Santo Cristo
de la Salud. At the centre of the cross, the elongated octogonal
design stands for an emerald, since our town is known as the
"Emerald of the South".
