'''Along a dirt-road some fifteen kilometres north of [[Morondava]], a cluster of baobab trees to the right and left of the roadside form an avenue of proud giants known as Baobab Avenue. The location is a landmark of the region and a symbol of Madagascar and one of the most photographed spots in the country.'''

The [[baobab tree]] is the national tree of Madagascar. Due to its unusual shape, the baobab is sometimes said to be a tree with roots pointing to the sky. According to ancient Arabic mythology, it was the devil who pulled the tree out of the earth and re-planted it upside down.
