"There remains to be added," writes Sigfried Grän OFM in 'Noah, the Builder of the Ark and Inventor of Viticulture,' "what we omitted above in our summary of the Noah story. Noah not only survives the Flood and, after his rescue, offers a burnt offering to the Creator. He also incidentally becomes the inventor of viticulture. (...) In ancient Israel, the vine was considered the noblest of all plants. To own a vineyard, to enjoy its fruits, and to rest in the peace of its shade was... the epitome of a happy and blessed existence." (Source: "In the Land of the Lord.

The Great Black Bull: The story of Spain's most iconic billboards dates back to the founding of a Cadiz brandy and sherry winery by an Englishman named Osborne. The bulls originally stood up to 4 meters tall and bore the Osborne name in red letters. The herd grew to 500 before anti-billboard legislation threatened their existence. Following a public outcry, they were removed from the street, the lettering removed, and rebuilt to a height of 14 meters.

A hill that has its own legend: in the castle of Nájera lived Farragut or Ferragut, a Syrian giant descended from Goliath and stronger than him, who fought and defeated the best warriors of Charlemagne except Roldán, who one day from the poyo spotted the giant sitting at the door of his castle. Roldán picked up a round stone weighing two arrobas (~22kg) and threw it in the direction of the giant, whom he hit in the forehead, knocking him down. Since then the hill has been called Poyo de Roldán.The stone hut is likely a traditional stone vineyard shelter.
