ICOD DE LOS VINOS
Region: Canarias
Province: Santa Cruz de Tenerife
| Spanish | Escudo partido. Primero, de azur, el Teide en su color. Segundo, de plata, un drago en su color. Bordura de sinople, con ocho racimos de uvas de oro. Al timbre, corona real cerrada. Como tenantes, cuatro aborígenes canarios, dos a cada flanco, sosteniendo cada uno una rama de palma. |
| English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on October 9, 1921.
The mountain Teide is dominating the landscape of Icod by its mere existence. The dragon-tree is an image of the 1000-years-tree of that kind within the village. The grapes are an alusion to the viticulture, which gave the municipality its name and its fame.
The supporters are the Guanche-chiefs of Icod, Daute, Adeje and Abona, who met here, in order to talk about peace negotiations with the Castilian conquerers.
