Every time I go by Cafe Risa, I stop to admire the beautiful old wood posts that line the side street there. I took a photo of one which is a piece of sculpture in its own right....

Back in the day that used to be Pedro's restaurant, I believe he is the one
who put those there.

Anyone know the name of this style of post?

I know it's a Higuera (fig) that's a parasite that strangles trees and that the guys that cut them find them in the mountains.

Can't find anything on the Internet

I asked around and I think this type of post is called Palo de Corrado'. The tree that grows with all the holes in it is called Iguanero. .

These posts are Iguanero:
