Spain's most famous bull to go travelling

Probably the most iconic symbol in Spanish marketing history - the Osbourne Bull - is set to go overseas.

Without a doubt one of the most memorable sights when travelling in Spain is the huge black bull that overlooks the surrounding landscape.

Now found on 94 roads across Spain. They were almost pulled down in the 1990s, with road safety advocates insisting that the 14 metre bulls are too big a distraction for passing motorists.

Until recently the only place outside of the Spanish mainland to have an  Osbourne  bull was the Spanish enclave of Melilla. The bull was situated on a hill side overlooking Morocco - leading to no end of protests and official complaints.

Now the Osbourne group is set to cash on the International demand for the bull. So far requests from Copenhagen and Texas are being considered.

Although the Osbourne group was founded by English man, the Exeter wine importer Thomas Osbourne in 1772, there have so far been no requests for bull in the UK.
