Electric Car Travel: Between the Future and the Odyssey
Going on a trip with an electric car in Spain is a different… experience. I won’t say «bad» because I love my electric car. But I can’t say it’s wonderful either. It’s more like a mix between science fiction and a low-budget horror movie. And I’ll tell you why. The Beginning: A Journey with Purpose […]
MasTorrencito: The Hotel with Swimming Pool for Dogs that Changes Everything 🏡🐾💦
It was a summer morning at MasTorrencito, the rural hotel where humans are the guests and the real protagonists have four legs and a tail that never stops moving. The sun was shining brightly and the heat was beginning to build. As every day, the 100,000-liter pool was ready to welcome its most enthusiastic guests. […]
The weekend of the ppp and the chiguagua by MasTorrencito
That weekend came with a tingle in my stomach. It was Friday and, as usual, I had sent the messages to the clients who were coming. But this time, something made me uneasy: four PPPs, those potentially dangerous dogs they talk so much about, would be gathering at the house. I knew that everything could […]
MasTorrencito, God and the Algorithm of Life
Some nights, the thought devours me. I find it hard to sleep because my mind gets tangled up in questions that, at first glance, have no answers. What if all of this were an algorithm? What if every decision we make triggers a series of predefined events, as if Sometimes, life seems to flow with […]
The day they wanted to kidnap and rob us, part 1 by MasTorrencito
Many moons ago, on one of those winter nights when the cold penetrates to the bones, the rural house Mas Torrencito, a XV century farmhouse in the heart of the Empordà, was quiet. Outside, frost covered the fields and the murmur of the nearby stream was barely audible. Inside, on the other hand, the fires […]

The wind was blowing strongly that afternoon when we decided to celebrate Albert’s forty years at the helm of La Barratina. Four decades in a business that was already an institution, a benchmark of good food and tireless effort. As it could not be otherwise, we sat down to eat there, together with Andrés, from […]
A walk among flowers and clouds… by MasTorrencito
The day I died there were no heavenly trumpets or tunnels of blinding light. I simply closed my eyes in Mas Torrencito’s bed and, when I opened them, I was somewhere else. A walk among flowers and clouds… by MasTorrencito An immense meadow, one of those that seem to be painted in dreams, with a […]
What will it be, will it be?
February has started well… or at least we can’t complain. What will it be, will it be? It has rained, which we needed, but unless it rains more, this summer we are going to be worse than a lizard in a frying pan. So far, so good. But if it continues like this, I can […]
When memories walk by our side again by MasTorrencito
The night before had been one of those that test anyone’s patience and endurance. The rain was falling with an intensity that can only be described as the universal deluge version 2.0. The drops were hitting the MasTorrencito roof tiles with fury, filtering here and there, forming small improvised waterfalls in the house. Of course, […]
WE WERE FOOLED!!! by MasTorrencito
We were sold a lie. They made us believe that life was wonderful, that everything would be a road full of good things, that if «pim», that if «pata», that if «everything is going well»…. AND A SHIT. No, it is not like that. Either we live in a bubble, oblivious to society, to the […]
