The coat of arms of Biure features a donkey, a river and three stones. The donkey recalls a time in the town’s past when these animals would cross the mountains of Empordà loaded with chalk. The river is the Ricardell, an affluent of the Muga that only makes its presence known when it rains. And the stones pay tribute to the martyrdom of Saint Stephen, the town’s patron saint. Indeed, the church of Sant Esteve is one of the must-see landmarks of Biure
