    The statue is located on the main street of Torremolinos, the Plaza de la Europea, and is said to represent Zeus as a white bull. According to legend, Zeus fell in love with Europa, the daughter of King Tyre, and carried her out to sea to live with him forever on Crete. There are said to be several statues scattered around the area.
