Have been looking this for about anhour and just can't work it out ...

"formerly the seat of a medieval island kingdom, this windy city, dedicated to a saintly dragonslayer, was known for its crusades. Now every summer thousands of camera-carrying visitors pass through its railway station, itself a source of surreal dreams, to see some of the year's most nightmarish (andbrilliant) visions. Name the city"

The four images are:
a. A hollywood actress type (?Theda Bara) with one of those lip-shaped sofas in front of her mouth and chin.
b. some dancers (?male) on a stage with their backs to the viewer, in front of a red and orange striped curtain/backdrop.

c. A floodlit river bank, with a castle building on the left hand side.
d. a mass of people in a ?park. Men in green tops seem to be standing on people's shoulders.

Hopeyou can help, I thought it might be Genoa, but not 100% sure.

Thanks, Chox.

Hi again, have had a bit of a closer look - the backdrop I mention seems to be a catalonian flag, and the sofa is probably the Dali one, with a picture of Mae West behind it.

Any more ideas folks?
Thanks, Chox.

Ibiza?

Possibly Perpignan

Yes looks like it could be Perpignan

The Mae West Sofa was painted by Dali and the Railway Station contains his works.

It was also the Capital of the Kingdom of Majorca in the 15th/16th Century
