Los Toros de Osbourne


Originally used to advertise a brand of sherry made by the Osbourne company, these bulls can be seen all over Spain along major highways. A law was passed in 1994 prohibited this type of advertising and the signs were to be removed. However, due to public outcry only the name of the compnay was blackened out and the bulls were allowed to remain. They are considered a cultural symbol of Spain. To date there are 88 of them. The first person to spot one on our trip wins 5 Euros! Happy hunting!
