A pharaonic project to compete with France. Spain has been agitated since the announcement of the Spanish Spanish Academy of the project to build a 300 meter metal bull. The idea, quite surprising, is controversial since this statue also has the ambition to promote bullfights, while practice is no longer seduced as before.
At the moment, only a three -dimensional projection of this “bull des Spain” makes it possible to understand the idea that this academy founded in 2023 wants to lead. A site that fantasizes as one of the country’s main attractions. But the idea is not unanimous and its implementation already faces some complications.
A Museum in Horns
Proposed for the first time to the city of Madrid, which rejected its welcome, this gigantic animal is without a regular place, pushing the academy to reveal the idea publicly and, therefore, arouse envy in other municipalities.
A problem that leads to others. Depending on the chosen land, the financial cost of said company may vary. The Tauromachie Academy specifies with BFM that the structure would be built to be visited “in the horns of the animal” and in “a theme park on the ground”, which allows to reimburse the construction costs.
According to the initiators of this giant bull, the structure aims to allow Spain to update with the progress of France in the tourist field. For the president of the Taurocmachy Academy, this difference is explained by the Eiffel Tower.
“Unlike other countries, it is unlikely that Spain can plant a flag on the moon before the end of the decade. However, it could become an essential nation in the international tourism sector, thanks to the … ‘Toro de España,'” wrote the academy in a press release.
It only remains that Spanish engineers erect a structure of more than 312 meters, the size of the Parisian monument without its antenna, and give Spain its emblematic monument.
A project already
If it leaves the ground, this metal bull would be larger than the sacred family in Barcelona, which culminates 172 meters. By way of comparison, the New York Freedom Statue measures 93 meters and the 57 -meter Pisa tower.
Also according to the initiators of this statue, some cities have already expressed their interest, citing Burgos where Fernando Martínez-Acitores, an assistant of the mayor label Vox, the extreme right party, announced his desire to see the statue in his commune. Information quickly denied by the mayor of the city.
The same story on the side of the commune of El Molar, near Madrid, where the earth would have already been found. But for the moment, the City Council has not confirmed.
Regarding the viability of this project, several criteria, such as the study of the environmental impact, the choice of the architect or even the funds are, to date, not known without the final election in the field. According to a last survey, Bullfight, no longer awakens a great interest with the Spaniards since 77% of them oppose it.
