Talara is a city in the Talara Province of the Piura Region, in northwestern Peru. It is a port city on the Pacific Ocean with a population of 103,200 as of 2005. Its climate is hot and dry. Due to its oil reserves, and ability to produce aviation fuel, Talara hosted a United States air base during World War II. Talara is also home to a large fishing fleet. The city is served by the Cap. FAP Víctor Montes Arias Airport.
One of the attractions of Talara is its gastronomy, you can find good seafood restaurants. There are many of them at Caleta's San Pablo, a district of Talara.
Talara is the westernmost city in all of mainland South America. (A small outlying town, Seccion Dieciocho, is situated slightly further west, and just beyond there, the land itself reaches its westernmost extent at Punta Pariñas.) Talara and some neighbouring cities (Piura and Amotape) served as the backdrop for the short novel 'Who Killed Palomino Molero?' by Mario Vargas Llosa.
Talara is a genus of moths in the family Arctiidae.
Thereza Bazar / David Van Day)
I was a young man choosing to be alone
You were a young girl breaking out on your own
It's the change you made in me
And your smile can make me see
That it's easy to try
When I know that you're taking me high
(You take me higher and higher)
Chorus
You give me some kinda magic
And I don't wanna lose my hold on you
You give me some kinda magic
'cause you set me alight when I'm close to you
(It shows)
No good pretending don't wanna be alone
(Don't want to be on my own)
With you beside me we're making our house our home
(We're going to make our house our home)
It's the way you look at me
'cause you set my spirits free
And it's easy to try
When I know that you're taking me high
(You take me higher and higher when)
Repeat chorus
Thinking of you girl I always do
You take up all my time
'cause you make me strong
And your magic lingers on
(You take me high so high)
