Osborne’s Bull
Friday, 13th January 2006 by Alex Turnbull
Here you can see the shadow of one of Spain's famous Osborne bull signs. The Osborne sherry company placed these huge silhouettes of their logo on hills near major roads throughout Spain, and although there was a law passed which demanded their removal, they have become an unofficial national symbol of Spain - and today nearly a hundred of them still remain overlooking the passing motorists.
Here's the Wikipedia page, and here's a ground-level shot of one of the bulls.
Thanks to Christophe.

There’s a great Spanish comedy by Bigas Luna called ‘Jamón Jamón’ that features one of these signs quite a lot. It also stars Penelope Cruz and Anna Galiena so it’s well worth catching.
In this link there’s a osborne bull too:
