I keep seeing cars with a Black Bull sticker on the back. Anyone know what they are supposed to represent ?

I always thought they pretty much said "I've been to Spain and bought a sticker"

Bought by tourists in Southern Spain - symbol of Andalucia I believe. You'll also occasionally see a little stick man holding a rainbow which is also a tourist sticker thing from a primitive cave painting in that area.

Indalo man...symbol of Almeria.

It's an advert for Osborne Sherry. http://www.osborne.es/

They're advertising that they're pissed on cheap sherry and you should steer well clear.

After spotting a few a while back I assumed they were some sort of tourist / souvenir thing but in the last few weeks I've seen loads more and thought there was some hidden meaning behind it or some sort of club / forum logo. It was seeing one on an L Reg Nissan Micra that really got me curious because prior to that I'd only seen them on sports / prestige cars

In a recession, even a holiday to Spain is worth advertising...

Osborne put massive cut out bulls all over Southern Spain way back. After a while some were removed, but some had become landmarks and were kept (without the writing).

You can see Penélope Cruz use the scrotum of one as an umbrella in Jamón, Jamón.

Now they seem to have become some sort of "I've been to Spain / I have a place in Spain, look at me." sticker on cars.
