The image shows a traffic sign (no entry) in Cáceres, but it has been covered with stickers. The languages present are:
Latin (Latin phrase): “OVIS MEAS” = “My sheep” (from the Gospel of John, Oves meas voco – “I call my sheep”).
English: “SKEP”, “Gr”, “VANVO DOHOR PRYPLE” (these seem like artist tags or brands).
Spanish (brand/collective name): “MAROMACO” (a local street-art group or artist alias).
Logos/stickers: other stickers are visual only, without readable text.

Notes : This signpost is an example of partial bilingual signage: A Fala is included alongside Spanish for major heritage sites (church, Plaza Mayor, town hall), but excluded in others (private “Casa Rural Las 6 Hermanas”). The visual hierarchy always privileges Spanish, with A Fala in a secondary position. The inclusion of A Fala here is notable as institutional recognition, but it remains unevenly applied.
