Escudo de Queralbs/Arms (crest) of Queralbs
Official blazon
Catalan Escut caironat: de sinople, un bordó de pelegri d'argent posat en pal que porta una carbassa de pelegri ataronjada lligada al travesser, acompanyat de 2 rocs d'argent un a cada costat. Per timbre, una corona mural de poble.

Origin/meaning

These arms have been officially granted on 7th July 1987.

The pilgrim's staff is the attribute of St. James, the local patron saint. The two argent chess-rooks are a canting element: Queralbs is a variation of "quers albs", Catalan for "white rocks".
