"This is a book about disappearances. Practically everything that will appear (buildings, places, people) no longer exists, yet it is still there," Rocha writes at the beginning of this unclassifiable book, halfway between a personal chronicle, an unusual and psychogeographic guide, and a logbook. A travel diary to the edges of Madrid following the "paths of desire," those spontaneously created by the passage of people or animals.

With this walk, in a single day, an attempt is made to solve the disappearance of José Ribalta Camós, an ophthalmologist who in 1916 decided to walk in a straight line north from the Puerta del Sol. The result is a story of stories, a journey to the end of the city that at times recalls W.G. Sebald, Iain Sinclair, or an infinitely more intricate and dark Trapiello.
