Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on March 13, 2002.

The arms show the image of the local monument in remembrance of the foundation of the town. The chameleon is a typical local animal, whereas the tuna is a symbol for the fisheries and canning industry in the municipality.

The base symbolises the Guadiana river.
