The arms are Azure issuant from a base wavy Argent charged with a barrulet wavy Azure a three-arched bridge Or masoned Sable and in chief a barrel Argent ringed Sable and garnished Sable. Mural crown argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "BARRIL DE ALVA"
Meaning:
"Barril" means "barrel" the wavy base refers to the local Alva River, thus making these arms canting.
