Querencia can be the place where we were born or raised.
The notion of love is linked to the fact of loving something or someone well . The term can refer to the love or inclination that a person feels or expresses.
Place of birth or upbringing
It is common for the concept of love to be used with reference to the attachment that an individual or an animal has to the place where they were born or raised. This love causes the desire not to leave or, if estrangement occurred, to return. By extension, the place where this feeling is registered is called love.
Take the case of a young man who, in his childhood, begins to play soccer in his neighborhood club. As the years go by, the boy reaches the First Division and becomes a figure. This causes him to receive multiple offers from other teams that intend to hire him. However, due to his love for his birthplace , he chooses to reject them and develop his career in his lifelong club.
Some examples
For example: “The love of many people for this type of historical buildings is admirable” , “At university I developed my love for the ideas of Karl Marx and they continue to interest me today” , “My son has an innate love for question the norms.”
Throughout these three sentences we can notice that the term love can have different synonyms, such as "love", " attachment " or even "tendency", depending on the case. Let's look at the first: according to the issuer, many people feel a certain attraction to the aforementioned buildings that is worthy of admiration.
In the second, on the other hand, we do not talk about a feeling towards a material object, but rather about ideas. More precisely, those of Karl Heinrich Marx , a multifaceted 19th century intellectual born in Germany and died in England. In this case, we can also speak of " inclination ", since the person not only agrees with them but his way of thinking is similar, he relies on them.
Finally we have the statement of a father or mother who assures that their child naturally tends to question the rules. Precisely, this love is not a "love" but a way of acting that arises beyond his will.
A Spanish town
In Spain , Querencia is an abandoned town located in the province of Guadalajara . Belonging to the municipality of Sigüenza , it has been without inhabitants or with few stable neighbors for more than half a century, since the exodus began in the 1960s.
Another term with which this geographical place can be described is depopulated , which is defined as a population center that for different reasons has been left by its inhabitants, at least those who lived there permanently. Among the most common reasons for this unusual phenomenon are war conflicts, epidemics , certain government decisions, natural disasters and economic crises.
