Puerto de Santa Maria is part of the great sherry triangle that connects with Jerez de la Frontera and Sanlucar de Barrameda. Numerous well know producers have wineries there that are open to visitors.

When driving the highways of Spain have you ever noticed the huge bulls that have been constructed in fields next to the road? Well these bulls were originally advertising billboards for the Osborne winery. When the government decided they were a distraction to motorists such advertising was banned but nobody was upset by the sight of these huge bulls so they remained without publicity on them. What great (free) advertising for the company.

You’ll also occasionally see the outline of a man with a guitar. This was Gonzalez Byass’s roadside advert for their Tio Pepe brand which has also survived the test of time.
