When I lived in Europe, we would visit Spain each year. The country is a popular destination to many Europeans, including the Dutch and Germans. Spanish flags fly beautifully from flag poles of all kinds throughout Spain. Like other flags of Europe it displays three horizontal stripes.

Southern Spain is one of the more popular travel destinations in the world in our day. Many Europeans, and those residing in other countries, are eager to visit this beautiful Mediterranean area located in the southern part of Europe. Spanish flags are flown from object of all kinds, including flagpoles, throughout his wonderful territory.

The national flag or banner of Spain displays three horizontal bands, colored red, yellow and red. The red bands are displayed as both the bottom and top stripe whereas the yellow colored band is displayed as the middle band. The yellow band is also twice the height of the red colored stripe.

Many different flags of different countries are flown from aluminum and steel flagpoles throughout Europe. Spain flags are relatively older than many flags of Europe. The national banner of Spain was first flown during the late years of the 1700-s. Used as a naval ensign first, it flew from vessels and other locations for some 50 years before it was officially adopted as the national flag of this beautiful country in 1843. The flag was chosen from among twelve other flags, with designs produced by a single individual, "Antonio Valdes y Bazan."

Today, the Kingdom of Spain is considered the 51st-largest country in the world in terms of square mileage. Being slightly smaller than the Republic of France, but slightly larger that the State of California. Interestingly, the "Teide" is the highest mountain in Spain and the 3rd largest volcano in the world, located on the one of the Canary Islands; Tenerife, off the west-coast of Africa.

Like other flag of Europe, Spanish flags are subject to their respective national flag etiquette or protocol. The national banner can (for example) only be flown horizontally from public buildings, homes and businesses, ships, of during official ceremonies from flag poles. Government buildings are to fly the flag from a flag pole or so day and night.

Spanish flags display nicely from flag poles and other objects used for the displaying of flags and banners. In modern times, flags of Europe are manufactured using the latest in flag and flag pole technology.
