Shield Or on a pile Vert a fox passant Argent and in chief two olive branches Argent fruited Sable with its stem ends set per saltire. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers(village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case serifed letters "VALE FRECHOSO".
Meaning:
The phrase "vale frechoso" means "arrow valley" with a tad archaic feel to it ("frecha" for "arrow" is an archaism, supplanted by the more modern "flecha"; cp. "seta"); the pile is canting for valley.
