Community of Madrid is an autonomous region where the Spanish capital is part of it. With an population of around 6,6 million but 6,5 million but Madrid and it's suburbs are good for 6,2 million and the rest is spread out in the region. The region is located in the center of Spain and has triangle shape. Despite that the city of Madrid is large and populated the rest of the region is surprisingly unspoiled, there are mountains rising 2000 m (6561.6 ft) with dense forest. Also there is an large vulture colony in the region and the endangered Iberian imperial eagle can be found too. So we have an bustling metropolis what turns into a serene peaceful surrounding when traveling out of the city of Madrid. So let's take an look at the flag.
The flag has an red background with 7 white stars. The red comes from Castile where the Community of Madrid is historically part of it. The stars has to do with the city of Madrid because in the coat of arms in that city comprise an bear and there is the constellation Ursa Major also known as Great Bear. This group of stars in the night sky is to called too Big Dipper and there we get, it's comprise out of 7 stars. Also the stars represented the 7 administrative units of the province of Madrid, beside it's an region it is also an province. The units are Madrid, Alcalá de Henares, Torrelaguna, San Martín de Valdeiglesias, El Escorial, Getafe en Chinchón. Solid flag that needs some explanation.
