La Laguna, the former capital of Tenerife (formerly Santa Cruz was simply its harbour), has a purple (neither crimson nor purpure etc.) flag with the coat-of-arms in the centre, though smaller than on other Tenerife flags, about only one fourth of the flag's height, certainly much smaller than in José Manuel Erbez's website. I took a picture of it flying from the Town Hall.

La Laguna's flag is Tenerife island's (and probably the Canary Islands') oldest flag. However it is not regulated by Law, and thus I believe there is no legislation on its proportions. Even if the one flown at the Town Council shows a very small coat-of-arms indeed, in my pages I preferred to show it somewhat larger to make it more visible.
