Overview
Communication of the departmental governor Mr Carlos E. Quinones on 22 April 1997.
The green stands for the luxuriant vegetation, and the white
for the foam of the waves that bathe the department�s shore.
The coat of arms contains the palm, departmental symbol; 9 stars
representing the municipalities (Champerico, San Sebasti�n,
Santa Cruz Mulua, San Mart�n Zapotitlan, San Felipe, El Asintal,
Nuevo San Carlos, San Andr�s Villa Seca and Retalhuleu, this
last, the capital, beeing represented by a larger star); in the
third quarter is shown the flag of Guatemala in diagonal to
indicate allegiance to this country; and in the fourth field the
five volcanoes illuminated by a brilliant sun symbolize the
Central American unity.
