Randomly written on the side of a hill in spain is the word “BAR“. Perhaps there’s a good pub there? Maybe someone called “Bar” flies a gyrocopter around there (like a spanish Dave)? Who knows!

Nice! Maybe initials?
If you look to the northwest (and anywhere on the other side of the highway), there are a lot of fields with large black dots in them. Any ideas what those are?
I would guess the black dotted fields are olive tree orchards. The wide spacing allows for machine harvesting.
Similar orchards in Italy:

I found a bunch of mountainside graffiti in Peru: View Placemark / Google Earth
(Follow the mountainside to the west to see the heart and the shovel.)
Maybe the ‘Foo’ got washed away.
in google earth you can see that just above the shovel dave lartigue mentioned there’s a light pentogram.
The highway is A-4 (Carretera de AndalucÃa). I’m from Madrid but I rarely have driven that way. I’ll try to take a look the next time I drive back to Madrid from somewhere in AndalucÃa. I added a mark in the GPS so I don’t forget
Maybe he’s a Formula One fan?
VIVA ESPAÑA
I’m from madrid too, that’s just a sign of a near Bar (spanish translation for pub).
VIVA CATALUNYA !!!!!
I lived in Salamanca, just south of Madrid, for a while and I remember going to this bitchin bar a bit of a ways outside of Salamanca. But this bar wasn’t any regular bar. It was out in the middle of these ranches or farms, but the cool thing is it was underground. You just walk through this little shack kinda and down these long stairs into this cave. We drank tons of sangria and had an awsome authentic dinner with our entire class. So, this could be signaling to some underground bars; I’m not too sure.
Bueno, pues si hay tanto español, por que c…ño no hablamos en español?

jajaja es verdá aki con el ingles garrulo..!! Pues teneis idea que coño es eso?

Greetings from Spain. On our way North from AndalucÃa, we came up with the famous ‘bar’ grafitti on the right side of the A-4 freeway. It’s purpose is simply to be seen from the road, no grafitti contest, no hidden initials. It’s just a damn roadside bar. Here is what can be seen from the freeway.
Esos no españoles dando pistas sobre donde tomarse unas copas, juas, juas, juas…
No se dan cuenta que lo de la sangria es un truco para sangrar a los guiris?
