Origin/meaning

These arms have been officially granted on 7th October 1991.

The arms show the castle of Púbol (now a museum dedicated to its last resident, the painter Salvador Dalí), two pears at each side (canting elements: "la Pera" means literally in Catalan "the pear", despite it derives from Latin PETRA, "stone") and a cross representing St. Isidore, the local patron saint.
