Region : Canarias
Province : Santa Cruz de Tenerife
Official blazon
Escudo partido y mantelado en punta. Primero, de oro, cinco rosas de gules puestas en sotuer. Segundo, de plata, pino canario de sinople. Mantel de azur, con un ancla de plata. Bordura de sinople con cuatro bastones de oro, uno en jefe, otro en punta y los otros dos en los flancos. Al timbre, corona real abierta.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on November 21, 1964.
The five roses are symbolizing the five mysteries of St. Rosario, who gave the municipality its name. There are large forests of pine trees around La Esperanza. The anchor for Christians is a symbol of hope (span.: esperanza), which is the capital of that municipality. The rectangles are referring to a "game of pales", played even by the aborigines and also today.
