Need help with ID Options

Hello cactus connoisseurs. I'm in need of a bit of help identifying a cactus I came across while jogging today. Where I'm from these grow in a number of places and some are already enormous, I've noticed them on several occasions but never had a camera handy to provide photos for ID. They certainly look like some kind of Trichocereus but I'm no expert.







What do all of y'all think?

I uploaded them to dropbox which apparently isn't a valid imagehosting site, reuploaded to imgur so should work now.

Thanks for the response guys! No luck this time but I'll keep searching, there's a lot of different cacti growing around here so maybe I can find an active one.

Jarppi, in the iberian peninsula you will find it hard to have a close encounter of the first kind with a trichocereus, specially in the public gardens. They aren't species that garden centers sell. On contrary in the americas.. your best bet is to order seeds and cuttings. But it is always nice to see what other cacti you find around there.

I love cacti pics. Smile

Also, the "cacti" on the pic might be a Euphorbia.
