Trees In Alicante

[Jennykenny]

Lots of squares in Alicante have the most amazing trees. Absolutely huge, with enormous roots above ground.
In a small way they reminded me of mangrove swamp trees but obviously they were not deeply embedded in water.
The leaves looked like a rubber plant. Anyone any ideas??

Mulberry?

The roots may be described as Butress Roots ... if you just google that you will propably find and image like a tree found in a swamp.

If you google odd trees in Alicante some things do come up- looks like it's the Kapok (Ceiba) tree.
