Photos

Okay you whiny armchair travellers who have been submitting complaints (maybe next time try using polite requests...) via email and comments for more photos, I am now giving up valuable drinking time to submit myself to your pressure. I am such a slave to my adoring travel blog fans... By the way we have 49 people following the blog which I find quite amazing as I don't know that many people, however I digress from the purpose at hand.
As we travelled throughout Spain we would see these huge billboards of a black bull. You can see them for miles. A previous alcohol company had the bull as its logo so these were erected all over the countryside with various advertising for their beverages. Spain enacted a law that alcohol was no loner to be advertised so the owners of the private land where the billboards had been erected purchased their 'bull' and painted over the advertising. Now locals use it like a game of 'spotto' to see how many they pass on their country rides. There were about 15 on our journey but I reckon I stopped counting at 9.
