Yes, almost as popular as Osborne Veterano Reserva 👌👍 the bull brings back memories. "In the past" it was found more frequently in the mountains of Andalusia, but today it is found all along the Spanish coast. Which I think is good, by the way! It has been part of the scene here for decades, I would miss something! Photos this close are rare, but desirable!👌 You can usually find bullet holes!

In 1956, the trademark was created that made Osborne famous around the world - not least through the ongoing presence of the almost 14-meter-high silhouettes on Spain's highways. The Osborne bull was originally planned as a large billboard on Spanish roads, where it was to serve as an advertisement for the Veterano brandy. In 1956, the Spanish agency Azor was commissioned to design an advertising board for the Veterano brandy. The designer Manolo Prieto, who was employed there, was commissioned to implement it and developed the Osborne bull, which is now known worldwide. Over time, it has evolved from a trademark to a national symbol of Spain. The Osborne bulls that can be seen today no longer have any advertising lettering. There are currently around 90 bulls distributed unevenly throughout Spain.

Unmissable in the dune landscape in front of Santa Pola. A popular photo motif!

About three years later, not quite as black, a bit faded by the sun, different writing and new tags, but still a real eye-catcher.
