(84) CAFE TERRACES AND TREES
A very nice group of Umbrella pines (Pinus pinea, family Pinaceae) - Batalha, Portugal.
Batalha means Battle: the town was named after the Battle of Aljubarrota, to celebrate the Portuguese victory against Castile (now Spain).
.
These trees are probably Canary laurels (Apollonias barbujana, family Lauraceae) at Ribeira Brava - Madeira Island, Portugal.
