Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials: "CACHOPO - TAVIRA".
Meaning:
The branches are symbolizing the abundance of oak and pine trees in the commune, the dolmen numerous megalithic monuments in the commune. The mountain is alluding to the Algarvian highlands. The horn is symbolizing hunting.
