Figueres
Bold text
Figueres (Catalan pronunciation: [fiˈɣeɾəs], Catalan for fig trees, Spanish: Figueras) is the capital of the comarca of Alt Empordà, in the province of Girona, Catalonia, Spain.
The town is the birthplace of artist Salvador Dalí, and houses the Teatre-Museu Gala Salvador Dalí, a large museum designed by Dalí himself which attracts many visitors. It is also the birthplace of Narcís Monturiol i Estarriol, inventor of the first successful machine-powered submarine. Also born here was Mónica Naranjo, one of the best selling Spanish singers of the 1990s and 2000s (decade).
History
The town's name derives from that of Ficaris, of Visigoth origins. In 1267, King James I of Aragon conceded it fuero rights, but four years later count Ponç IV of Empúries set the town on fire.
During the Spanish Civil War, it remained loyal to the Republican government, and was repeatedly bombed by the rebels. Figueres recovered starting from the 1950s, consolidating its economy around the tourism industry.

Something's talking
New sensations, feelings
Looking for dreams
I can remind you
I can remember
I can live daydream
There's my place
From a distant space
A star is coming
New procession calling
Trying to thrill me
I can't remind you
I can't remember
I can't remain here
On your dream
Man you see I fly tonight
You can really meet sunrise
If you get the friends today
You can really flap your hands
I began to know you now
When your eyes are watching me
You don't have to lose yourself
There's a new world coming now
From a distant space
A star is coming
New procession calling
Trying to thrill me
I can't remind you
I can't remember
I can't remain here
On your dream
Man you see I fly tonight
You can really meet sunrise
If you get the friends today
You can really flap your hands
I began to know you now
When your eyes are watching me
You don't have to lose yourself
There's a new world coming now
I began to know you now
When your eyes are watching me
You don't have to lose yourself
