Shield Vert, two watermill's wheels Argent ordered per fess, in base a bar wavy Argent charged with a barrulet wavy Azure, in chief a tortoise (a disc Gules) surrounded by an aureole Or and charged with a fleur-de-lis Or. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "COVELO - GONDOMAR".
Meaning:
Fleur-de-lis and aureole are attributes of St. Mary, the local patron saint.
