This paper explores the spaces important to friendship, arguing for a better understanding of the significance of friendship in geographies of care. It examines the intertwining of friendship, care and co-presence and explores the social contexts and spaces of friendship, with a particular focus on the space of the home. While friendships are an important form of care and support for most people, they have been neglected in geographical studies of care. There is an opportunity for geographers to add a new dimension to the existing literature on friendship and thereby to expand knowledge and understanding of change in the sources of intimacy, care and support. Cet article examine les espaces importants pour l'amitié en recommandant une meilleure connaissance de l'importance de l'amitié dans les géographies de soin. Il considère l'entrelacement de l'amitié, du soin, et de la coprésence aussi bien qu'il explore les contextes sociaux et les espaces de l'amitié, en y portant une attention à l'espace de la maison. Bien que les amitiés soient une forme importante du soin et du soutien pour la plupart des gens, elles sont plutôt négligées dans les études géographiques du soin. Il y a une opportunité pour les géographes d'ajouter à la littérature existant une nouvelle dimension et élargir donc le savoir et la compréhension du changement dans les sources de l'intimité, du soin, et du soutien. Este articulo se explora los espacios importantes para la amistad, discutiendo por un mejor entendimiento del significado de la amistad en las geografías del cuidado. Se examina el entrelazamiento de la amistad, cuidado y co-presencia y se explora los contextos sociales y espacios de la amistad, con un enfoque particular en el espacio del hogar. Mientras las amistades están una forma importante del cuidado y apoyo para la mayoría de la gente, han sido descuidados en los estudios geográficas del cuidado. Hay una oportunidad para los geógrafos contribuir una nueva dimensión a la literatura existente de amistad y de ese modo se puede expandir el conocimiento y entendimiento del cambio en los fuentes de intimidad, cuidado y apoyo.
