The Great Black Bull: The story of Spain's most iconic billboards dates back to the founding of a Cadiz brandy and sherry winery by an Englishman named Osborne. The bulls originally stood up to 4 meters tall and bore the Osborne name in red letters. The herd grew to 500 before anti-billboard legislation threatened their existence. Following a public outcry, they were removed from the street, the lettering removed, and rebuilt to a height of 14 meters.

The reservoir was built over a century ago from a small natural lake to provide irrigation water for agricultural land.

On stage 8 of the classic Way of St. James, you start in the morning in Logroño and come straight to this beautiful place at the beginning of the stage: ducks swim on the reservoir and squirrels greet visitors. A truly magical place.

Great park for the people of Logroño. Beautifully laid out with a lake and lots of playgrounds. A recreational oasis not far from the city with lots of shade.

The classic in Spain, the bull that rises up on the hills in the landscape - here also on the Camino Francés.

Possibly built in the 10th century. In the enclave of Clavijo, legend has it that the apostle Santiago, as patron saint of Spain, supported the troops of the king of León who had refused to pay homage to the Muslims of the south who demanded the famous tribute of the hundred maidens.
