Sculptural trees

I just liked very much these sculptural trees in the main street of Torremolinos, Spain.

I have no idea of the name of these beauties. They had yellow flowers like tulips, and the light green fruits had the shape and size of avocados.
"Bottle trees" name would suit me very well :-).

Wikipedia:
The silk floss tree (Ceiba speciosa, formerly Chorisia speciosa, pullokapokkipuu), is a species of deciduous tree native to the tropical and subtropical forests of South America. It has a host of local common names, such as palo borracho (in Spanish literally "drunken stick"). It belongs to the same family as the baobab and the kapok. Another tree of the same genus, Ceiba chodatii, is often referred to by the same common names.
