Ficus macrophylla, known for its grandeur, graces public parks and gardens in warmer climates worldwide, from California across southern Europe and to Australia. These giants can grow to towering heights and boast sprawling root systems, making them a rare sight outside of very large gardens and expansive landscapes. The famous strangler figs of Cádiz must be playing havoc with the drainage systems around them!
I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain. My articles contain affiliate links that will help you reserve a hotel, bus, train or activity in the area. You don’t pay more, but by using them you do support this website. Thankyou!
