When I started seeing a lot of bull and donkey stickers on cars I figured it had to be a political thing. Right!

The Osborne bull, a symbol of Spain, started off as an advertisement, but became so popular that when they tried to ban roadside ads people claimed it was part of the landscape. I have not seen more the car sticker, but in other places there are t-shirts, key rings, etc. |

A little over ten years ago people in Catalonia decided they needed a counterpart and chose an animal that is hard-working, stubborn, and able to endure hardship. Not everyone agrees with those characteristics and think of the donkey as stupid, but it is still the sticker I see a lot of around here. |

All sorts of other animals are on cars including cats, butterflies, and lizards. |

This is the name of the town because cu is the sound for the letter q and gat is the word for cat in Catalan. |
|
This is my favorite and I promise to write a post about wild boars soon. |
The Q cat is my favorite and it reminds me of Ramona Quimby writing her Q as a cat.
