Just a guess - could it be a Jacaranda?

My guess too

Yep, Jacaranda mimosiifolia.

Thank you, its a lovely tree lining the streets out here with very striking coloured flowers.

I saw these in Spain a few years ago and couldn't get a picture. They are beautiful and now I know what they are called - well done all.

So lovely! Jacaranda are mentioned in novels and sound so exotic - now I have an idea of what thay look like.
