Tips from the Community
It is a traditional structure that had several uses. The main one, and which gives it its name, is that of a watchtower for the vineyards to prevent the theft of fruit. In times of tilling, it also served to shelter workers in case of bad weather.

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.

It often happens like this...the destination is so close and yet so far away. The worst thing is when it is not the place you thought it would be, but somewhere else and the path leads past it or even further.
