Coat of arms
.gif)
by Juan Manuel Gabino Villasc�n, May 06, 2001.
A Spanish shield Parted per pale. The right pale is gold and the other is gules.
The shield is charged with a shell in plate profiled in azur. The gold-outlined
border is blue charging four fish, tunas.
It is a unheraldic shield, but colors and elements enjoy of great significance;
gold and gules stand for richness and nobility; the shell and the fish (tunas)
represent fishing, and plentyhood. Fhishing is the main economic activity of the
state and tuna the major sea resourse.
