A lovely spot to visit, just a really short walk with a great view from a point that can be seen from all over the city.
Osborne Bull
All it takes is a drive across Spain to see the legendary brandy Advertisement that has become a symbol of Spanish culture both here at home and abroad.
The Osborne Bull is the Black silhouette of Bull that stands on hilltops and along the roadside in many -but not all- parts of Spain. It began as nothing more than an advertisement in 1956 when Osborne group set out to promote 'Veteran' brandy.An Andalusian artist by the name of Manolo Prieto suggested the bull an this set a legend in motion.
There are 21 bulls in Andalucía erected between 1957 and 1979. They are not all the same. The two in the municipality of Alva de la Gazules on the aptly named 'Ruta del Toro's are 6.5m 'Toro Grande' type. The other 19 in Andalusia are of the 13.13m 'Toro Gigante'.
