on base wavy Azure a bar wavy Argent.
Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading

Meaning:
As usual for these new communes with hybrid toponyms created in 2012 by joining two or more pre-existing communes,
in a time when most of them had already established flags and coats of arms,
the newly created arms are also themselves a hybrid of those previous ones — such as in this case:
The grapes from Azoia, the pine and waves from Parceiros.
