The granite stones symbolize the natural environment of the village but also the force and courage of the villagers. The ivy is a symbol of affection and solidarity via the devotion to the Virgin. The sinister part of the arms represents the arms of the Dukes of Béjar, owners of the village until the suppression of the feudal system in 1811.
