Official blazon

Escudo partido. Primero, de gules, cuatro murallas de plata mazonadas de sable, puestas en faja. Segundo, de plata, un laurel en su color, terrazado al natural, con unas rocas desde donde sale un torrente de plata que discurre por la terraza y se pierde por la punta del escudo. Bordura componada de ocho piezas, cuatro de sinople con una espiga de oro y cuatro de oro con un racimo de uvas al natural. Al timbre, corona real cerrada.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on March 19, 1993.

The right side is the historic coat of arms of Tegueste. The tree is a symbol of the woods of laurel upon the municipalities hilltops. The green colour of the terrace is referring to the fertility of the soil, finally the torrent is an image of the fountain of Mocán, supplying the municipality with water for ages. Ears of grain and grapes are the traditional plants, being cultivated in Tegueste.
