Abstract

The personal, academic and scientific relationship with Lúcio Cunha over half a century prompted this essay, which recounts, based on ourb experiences, between reality and fiction, how practices and ways of being are interconnected with the evolution of the Coimbra School of Geography. With Geography in the background and functioning as a unifying feature, the path taken was fertile in complicity and affections that shaped an Intimate Geography that will be mapped from three space-time coordinates: origin, pilgrimage, return. 

Keywords: Intimate geography; Affective geography; Geography of Coimbra; Lúcio Cunha.
