Meaning:
The millwheel represents a mill, already today existing in the commune's ex-libris. The cross alludes to the importance of the Order of St.James in the past. The corn cobs are symbolizing the importance of agriculture in local economy. The bar wavy with fish refers to the local river bank and to the Atlantic. The blue shield colour is symbolizing loyalty. The arms were designed by Ernesto C. Silva and José Marreiros.
