I think it is Chorisia speciosa, the Floss Silk or Kapok tree.

There seem to be several trees like this. Coicidentally, Kayleigh has recently loaded a Spanish picture onto WatW:

Chorisia spp, as suggested by Woodman is a leading contender but there are others such as Bauhinia but I may be misremembering!

[Kayleigh]

They are lovely trees aren't they.
