Comment: "Thanks, Remy. Your suggestion of "unforgettable" led me to "memorable", which is what I chose to use here. Very helpful."

intimate
entranable come from entranas, which literally means viscera, so I suppose it could be visceral too

Rosina Peixoto
: De acuerdo, el corazón es una víscera y creo que este es el sentido. Si pasó 15 días sin su gente, fuera de su ciudad no creo que se pueda decir " feliz", "agradable" o adjetivos por el estilo. La idea es que vivió consigo mismo. Eso es lo que creo.

endearing
endearing
adj. Inspiring affection or warm sympathy
American Heritage Dictionary
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/endearing
The poet might remember those days as having provided significant growing experiences, or brought new friends and happy moments...but we just don't know what made them "endearing" --- next to or in contrast of his nostalgic references to his homeland and people. We need to know what follows in this poem.
