The near is far away

The article recounts a personal narrative reflecting on the author's experiences in Madrid and Buenos Aires, highlighting feelings of disconnection from their cities. The author recalls a visit to Madrid in 2009 where they met Mexican writer Gonzalo Celorio, who drew a map of the city for them. This experience contrasts with the author's recent unfamiliarity with Buenos Aires, where they felt lost despite using GPS navigation. The piece explores themes of urban familiarity, displacement, and the emotional impact of becoming estranged from one's environment.

Bias read (Center): The article does not take a clear ideological stance. It focuses on personal reflection rather than political commentary, though it indirectly touches on issues of urban identity and belonging. The tone remains neutral, avoiding overtly left or right-leaning language.
