The symbols are described as follows:

The years refer to the formation of the municipality. The castle represents the castle of Queen Zoralda in Murchas and the castle of Mondújar, where King Boabdil hid during his withdrawal through the Alpujarra Mountains. The musket recalls the event highlighted in the Musket Festival, when Martín Alonso de Frías, standard-bearer of the Flanders regiment, retrieved the Holy Sacrament stolen by Ibrahin Aguad. The tree symbolizes the abundancy in orange trees, lime trees, olive trees and almond trees in the area. The waves represent river Torrente that waters the municipal territory.
