Shield Argent divided by a saltire Gules with base wavy of Vert, Argent and Azure in the bottom quarter, a strawberry Gules barbed Vert in the dexter and sinister quarter and a corn cob Or leaved Vert in the chief quarter. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "CANIDELO - VILA NOVA DE GAIA".
Meaning:
The saltire is an attribute of St. Andrew, the local patron saint. Corn and strawberries are simbolizing agriculture. The base wavy, having a green and a blue wavy is symboloizing the Atlantic and River Douro.
