Fir (abeto) is the common name for the genus (género) Abies, which belongs to the pine family (Pinaceae), of coniferous trees. One of the differences between firs and spruces (picea or falso abeto in Spanish) is that spruces differ from firs in having pendulous cones.

is one of the most beautiful firs.
The Caucasian fir comes originally from the Caucasus region. It has a regular conical shape and dark green needles. It is used for Christmas trees.
