It's an unofficial symbol of Spain. People get them when they're on holidays there. There's a similar Donkey sticker, which is the symbol of Catalonia - created specifically to counter the Spanish symbol.

The bull originated as a the symbol of the Osborne sherry company, and used to be a common sight across Spain, until laws were passed prohibiting advertising near roadways.

I got the donkey on the back of mine:) I believe Catalunia was opposed to the image of the bull because it symbolised bull fighting. As far as i know its banned there.

I do say these stickers and others have their disadvantages. They are another thing that can grab the attention of parking wardens and clampers if they see your car / commercial vehicle parked in a location longer than allowed ie loading bays etc.
