Shield Vert a heraldic fountain, flanked on either chief corner by a cape of straw, on base by a granary Argent with roofed Gules and grat Sable. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and short white scroll, in Bénard Guedes style, reading in black upper case serifed letters "PENSALVOS".
Meaning:
The fountain is a representation of the Avelames River and its confluent creeks, which cause the fertility of the soil. The granary stands for agriculture, especially the production of cereals, and refers to the ancient granaries in Cabanes, being part of the commune. The straw capes (Portuguese: croças) are meant to keep the wearer (relatively) warm and dry: see this photo
