Hi everyone! So glad to be part of this community.
I currently live in Spain and I am desperately trying to find out the name of this small tree that can be found in the mountains of Alzira (Valencia) in Spain. Its leaves are quite soft and evergreen.

None of my forestal colleagues or my boss who is biologist could help me out.

ps: on the picture, the brown things are pine needles, not part of the mysterious tree.

Many thanks in advance!!
