LA GRANADA
Region : Catalonia
Province : Barcelona
Official blazon
Escut caironat: d'or, una magrana tijada i fullada de sinople oberta de gules. Per timbre una corona mural de poble.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on August 23, 1993.
La Granada is situated in the Penedès region, famous for its wines and champagnes. The village has nothing to do with Granada in Andalusia, except the name, that has the same Latin origin, GRANATA, that's full of grain, fertile. The canting arms have a pomegranate that show its seeds.
