Presentation of Totalán

The municipality of Totalán (710 inhabitants in 2017, 921 ha; municipal website) is located 25 km east of Málaga.

Totalán was already settled in the Prehistoric times, as evidenced by the dolmen known as the Moor's Tomb, discovered in 1955 by a group of pupils.
In 1483, a few years before the reconquest of Málaga, El Zagal defeated in Totalán a Christian army marching against Moclinejo along brook Totalán. The village has kept several remains from the Muslim period, namely the Salazar Tower, erected in the 11th century in Zarzo, the southernmost part of Totalán, as part of the coastal defense.

Symbols of Totalán

The flag of Totalán, adopted on 22 June 2018 by the Municipal Council and submitted on 8 May 2018 to the Directorate General of the Local Administration, is prescribed by a Resolution adopted on 13 July 2018 by the Directorate General of the Local Administration and published on 18 July 2018 in the Andalusian official gazette, No. 138, pp. 217-218 (text).
The flag is described as follows:

Flag: Panel in quadrangular, 2/3 proportions, with an upper stripe of 1/2 the hoist, horizontal, vert. The lower half of the flag with six parallel wavy stripes, in turn blue and white. The flag charged with the municipal coat of arms, in height 2/5 of the flag's hoist.

The coat of arms of Totalán, submitted on 19 October 2017 by the Municipal Council, to the Directorate General of the Local Administration, is prescribed by a Resolution adopted on 26 October 2017 by the Directorate General of the Local Administration and published on 3 November 2017 in the Andalusian official gazette, No. 211, pp. 196-197 (text).
The coat of arms, in use since a Municipal Decree adopted on 7 July 1987, is described as follows:

Coat of arms: Shield made of a single quarter, a field argent semé of 27 roundels vert on seven vertical lines. Superimposed and centered a tower gules masoned or. In base parallel waves in turn azure and argent. The shield surmounted by a Royal Spanish crown closed.

The roundels recall the millstones of the watermills that were powered by brook Totalán, represented by the waves in base. Their number approximately matches the number of houses or households documented during one of the first visits made to the village after the reconquest of Málaga by the Catholic Monarchs.
The tower represents the former fortress of Totalán.
