The Concept :

“BULL” The symbol of my country (Spain) The origin of the bull goes back to the ancient Aurochs, where they appear represented on many Paleolithic cave paintings in Europe. The figure of the bull has always been present in many cultures. Adoration of the sacred bull was very common in the ancient world. In Mesopotamia its horns represented the waxing moon. It was also worshiped under different names in Egypt. Present in Greek mythology the bull was immortalized through many myths that have survived until today. Ancient frescos and pottery of Minoan culture represent rituals in which men and women jump over bulls while holding their horns. The bull was also present in the Roman worship, where its sacrifice was the central part of the ceremony. The bull is commonly associated with Spain, due to the breeding of this animal throughout the country. In Spain, the "tauromachy" has developed and is widespread , but not everyone those who identifies with this animal supports this practice. Furthermore, it is said that the silhouette of the Spanish mainland resembles a bullskin, so Spain is often known as "The bull's skin"
