Fig tart ( tarta de higos)

I've always been absolutely in love with figs, and I grew up eating figs when I was little and spent many summers in a small place in the south where my uncle Miguel had a great fig tree in his yard.
We are in the time of figs here (late summer) and when I buy figs it is a struggle to do something while the others are eating them.
I get to make this tart and I had someones saved.
