recently on holiday and fell in love with these trees dotted around the town. Probably not suitable for our climate but would like to ID what they are

Really difficult from that distance, imho! You normally identify from the leaves, bark, any flowers. These could even have been shaped for the area so you can’t go off that.
That said, did they have clusters of yellow flowers? I’m thinking Laburnum, perhaps. Hopefully others will join in with better guesses!

and yes, they will grow here in a sheltered spot. But big!

No flowers I don’t think. They were quite fern like. Attached zoom pic

Flame tree?

Mimosa?

Whereabouts did you see them?

It was Tenerife

Ah, not laburnum then I don’t think. I expect someone will know!

They might be jacaranda trees. They have amazing blue flowers, but are tropical plants. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6c/Jacaranda_mimosifolia_5334.jpg

Mimosa? Albizia? Albizia seems to have that flattened spreading shape
