'In the Summer of 2022, in a moment of personal turmoil, I went on a trip to Seville and Cadiz (my hometown) with a couple of friends. I started to document my trip on my sketchbook and when it was done, I decided to publish it as it was, without editing or redrawing anything.

This is a book about going back and moving forward.'

"This piece of autobio is presented with a kind of “warts and all” honesty; deliberately unpolished with spelling mistakes uncorrected, raw candour unedited, and with a sketchy visual approach that gives it a very personal authenticity. (...) While this short comic adopts the standard scrapbook style that many such travelogues do (...) it’s Garcia’s contemplative reflections on identity, a sense of belonging, and the ghosts that can sometimes surround us on returning home again that gives it a deeper level of meaning."
