Flag of Tenerife
The Flag of Tenerife is a white saltire (or Cross of Burgundy or St Andrew's Cross)〔(Bandera de Tenerife. Boletín Oficial de Canarias )〕 over a blue field. The arms of the cross are approximately one fifth the width of the flag and the field is navy blue (''azul marino'').
==Significance==
There is no official meaning to justify the colours of the flag, but blue and white colours have been identified on the island of Tenerife for centuries. Traditionally, navy blue has been identified with the sea and the white to the snow-covered peaks of Mount Teide in winter.
Juba II and Ancient Romans referred to Tenerife as Nivaria, derived from the Latin words ''nix'', ''nivis'' or ''nives'', meaning snow, in clear reference to the snow-covered peak of the Teide volcano.
The name of Tenerife is derived from the language of the Benehaorits - the natives of nearby La Palma. ''Tene'' means ''mountain'' and ''ife'' means ''white''. After colonisation by Spain, the letter ''r'' was added, uniting both words.
