Official blazon

En campo de plata fileteado de gules, una granada al natural, rajada de gules, tallada y hojada de sinople. Bordura componada de ocho piezas: Alternadas; cuatro de plata con un león rampante de gules, linguado de lo mismo y coronado y uñado de oro; cuatro de gules con un castillo de oro, donjonado, almenado, aclarado de azur y mazonado de sable.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on March 27, 2008.

The arms show the canting pomegranate with a bordure of Castille and Aragón. The arms are a simpliefied version of the arms of the city of Granada.

I have no information on the meaning of the rope. Any information is welcome !
