That'll be an Eiffel

It's so magnificently 'orrible that it's worth a posting here.
Europa Press tells of this idea to build a truly gigantic metal toro in some strategic location. ‘The Spanish Bullfighting Academy is seeking a municipality to erect a 300-metre bull as a major tourist icon’. Somebody says Guadalajara (since Madrid has already gone with niet).
I wonder if we will all be asked to chip in.
‘It’ll be like the Eiffel Tower of Spain’ say the promoters of the plan.
We have black Soberano bulls dotted along the highways, and I think they are fun to see as I am driving hither and yon (especially yon). But a kind of Angel of the North or Eiffel Tower located - at least in the artist's rendition - on a giant roundabout may be a bit rich.
An iron bull with easily the largest pair of cojones in the world.
Spain is different.
