It's an abstract iron sculpture in the port of Dénia. It stylizes a bull and pays homage to the traditional "Bous a la Mar" festival. It's a popular landmark for those strolling along the pier.

The Bous a la Mar statue was created by Toni Marí in 1998 and represents the festival of the same name in Dénia, which has been celebrated since 1926 and takes place every summer.
For this purpose, a rectangular area is being built in the port of Dénia, which is open to the water side. There are well-attended spectator stands all around.
Now bulls are driven into the "arena" and "hobby toreros" try to drive the animals into the water without falling into the water themselves.
