The approximately 100 metres stretch appears on many postcards of Madagascar. A tiny village and a school which usally welcome visitors is located nearby. The baobab tree is the national tree of Madagascar. The baobab is occasionally sometimes said to be an upside-down-tree. In fact, and according to ancient Arabic legend, it is the devil who pulled out the tree and re-planted it that way.
