The blue colour in the right chief is symbolizing sea and sky, according to the words of Viera y Clavigo the "loyal companions of the | |||
village". The lighthouse is the tower of Punta de Teno. The green colour in the left chief is symbolizing the regions fertility, finally | |||
giving the village its name. | |||
The grashoppers are reminding on a legend. According to the story in 1659 grashoppers had devastated the whole island but Buenavista by a miracle was excempted. The cactus is reminding on a big one, which had formerly existed in the village, having the huge size of 148 sqm. Today it is disappeared. | |||
The red colour of the bordure is reminding at the same colour of the soil in the El Palmar-region. The inscription "Daute es mi bando" refers to | |||
the existence of the former Guanche mini-kingdom named "Daute". | |||
