The heraldic imagery situates San Martín within a historical narrative of nobility and lineage. The Latinised inscription elevates prestige but simultaneously excludes vernacular languages, reflecting the symbolic rather than practical function of the text. Additional info: Coat of arms in ceramic tiles from San Martín de Trevejo (it even says SANCTI MARTIN at the bottom, in Latinized form). Left Shield (Green background with a castle and a red cross): Represents Castile, the medieval kingdom that repopulated and protected the area. The castle is a common heraldic symbol of Castile. The red cross above recalls the influence of military-religious orders (likely Santiago or Alcántara). Right Shield (Red with a lamb and wavy blue/white lines): The lamb (Agnus Dei, Lamb of God) with a cross and banner is a Christian symbol of sacrifice and redemption. The waves (blue and white stripes) likely represent the nearby rivers (Ribera de Gata and others) and the valley where the town is located. The red field highlights martyrdom, possibly tied to San Martín de Tours, the town’s patron saint. The Helmet and Decorative Mantling (blue, gold, green, red): Standard heraldic ornament, showing nobility and protection. The open helmet is used for municipalities, not for noble families (closed helmets were for aristocracy). The Ribbon: “SANCTI MARTIN” Latin for San Martín. This is a traditional way of writing town names in coats of arms. PALRA

Minority languages remain excluded, underscoring prestige multilingualism (Spanish-English) rather than local multilingualism. PALRA

The Maltese cross links to historical-religious iconography, while the reference to the 16th century situates the site in a long historical continuum. This represents both linguistic affirmation and heritage branding through selective multilingual display. Additional info: The sign is written in A Fala (“Ronda da Muralla – Siglu XVI”). In Castilian Spanish, it would be: Ronda de la Muralla – Siglo XVI. PALRA

The design is typical of regional travel advertising: heavy text descriptions, visual reinforcement with photos, and strong emphasis on price/dates. The lack of translation contrasts with their cross-border tourism focus (Portugal), limiting accessibility for non-Spanish speakers, only through pictures. PALRA
