This is not a cactus but its origin is the same, the american
continent, probably Mexico. It is an Agave sp. There are many species
in cultivation, the most commonly known is the Agave americana, which
can be seen growing in many places worldwide. The flowerstalk can be
very tall and the leaves each more than a meter long.

Those spines make me think that this could be from Agavaceae or
Asphodelaceae or in extreme case Crassulaceae!! Its just a
speculation. I dont know of any Crassulacean member with spines.
