Osborne bull
Advertising icon and unofficial national emblem of Spain
The Osborne bull (Spanish: El Toro de Osborne) is a black silhouetted image of a bull in semi-profile. Erected as either 14-meter-tall (46 ft) or seven-meter-tall (23 ft) billboards, as of July 2022 there are 92 of them installed on hilltops and along roadways throughout much of Spain.[1][2] The bull was originally conceived as an outdoor advertisement for the Brandy de Jerez made by the Osborne Group [es] in 1956. With the passage of time, the Osborne bull has become a national symbol of Spain.

The boards were placed near major roads
