I spent some days in Cantabria in August 2000. Castro Urdiales, very near the regional border with the Basque Country, has a green flag with a white saltire couped i.e. not reaching the corners. The cuts on the saltire's ends are vertical. On the centre is the city's coat-of-arms. I saw this flag at the city hall and somewhere else I cannot remember now.
This is different from Eduardo Panizo's image below, which is simply light green with a yellow saltire — throughout i.e. not couped, heraldically speaking. Eduardo Panizo himself shows the flag as light green with a white saltire and a (missing) centred coat-of-arms at his website.
At the local yacht club I did see however the green flag with a saltire throughout (I could not tell whether this was white or very light yellow), together with the flag of Cantabria and that of the Club Náutico de Castro Urdiales.
