And if we were to win the lottery…


Sometimes I imagine it unintentionally, like a fleeting thought. But other times, like last night, I get lost in the idea with all the details. I saw myself with that winning ticket in my hand, the one that my dear blind man Ramón brought me, with his usual smile, as if he already knew that this time it would be my turn.

And of course, we celebrated. And it wasn’t because of the money, it was because of what it meant: no more worries, no more tight accounts, no more constant worries. No more living from day to day, wondering if one more reservation will come in, if there will be cancellations, if the credit arrives before the income. All of that would suddenly disappear. And in its place, there was something as simple as valuable: peace of mind.

But it was clear to him: it is not a matter of making something new, but of taking care of what already exists. Mas Torrencito. This place that is already special, that has soul, history and character. Only now, with that stroke of luck, we could take it to the next level. More solar panels, more sustainability, more efficiency. Renovations where they really add up: more spacious rooms, more comfortable, better connected to the garden, comfortable bathrooms, cozy lounges.

And above all, an even freer space for dogs. Because here they are not an addition, they are part of the soul of Mas Torrencito. In this dream, everything revolves around them. A place designed for them to run without limits, to roll on the grass, to feel part of the place. No absurd rules, no unnecessary restrictions. Just freedom. Only well-being.

It would be something like a small private club. But not exclusive because of the luxury, but because of the spirit. Only people with good vibes, only those who truly love dogs and understand what it means to share life with them. A place to enjoy without haste, without pretensions, without noise.

Of course, then I laugh. Because I would surely end up spending the money, getting into more ideas, reforming more than necessary, and owing the bank again. Because that’s the way it is. But how nice it is to imagine. How good it feels for a while to think of Mas Torrencito as that complete, free, sustainable and totally doggy refuge.


Reflection:

The lottery is not just a number. Sometimes, it is the possibility of living calmly. To dedicate your days to improving what already has value, and not just to survive.

Mas Torrencito is already a home for humans and dogs. But the dream of that prize reminds us of all that we can still do: more freedom, more comfort, more respect for nature and for animals.

And even if the ticket does not arrive, the idea remains. The direction is clear. May this place continue to grow with meaning, with soul, and always with them: the dogs, who are not «allowed» here, are welcome. They are family.


From MasTorrencito we wish you a good day and may your dogs be with you!!!!

🌿 Sustainability, wellbeing and a pet-friendly spirit at Mas Torrencito
At Mas Torrencito, we understand sustainability as something inseparable from the wellbeing of people… and their dogs. We live surrounded by nature and share our space with animals every day, so caring for the environment is not an option: it is part of our way of life.

For this reason, we are committed to a model of conscious, efficient and deeply pet-friendly rural tourism, where technology, respect for the environment and living alongside pets go hand in hand.

☀️ Solar energy produced on site

We have a photovoltaic installation consisting of:

🔹 72 solar panels
🔹 Individual panel power: 450 W
🔹 Total installed capacity: ~32.4 kWp

Thanks to the high level of solar radiation in the Empordà, this system allows an estimated annual production of between 50,000 and 55,000 kWh, covering a very significant part of the accommodation’s energy consumption.

➡️ A large part of the energy used to heat water, light the rooms and provide comfort for guests and pets is generated directly at the farmhouse.

🔋 Batteries to make the most of every ray of sunshine

Solar energy is complemented by an energy storage system with:

🔹 40 kWh in batteries
🔹 Use of surplus energy
🔹 Use of self-generated energy during the night

This allows us to:

reduce dependence on the grid,
minimise consumption peaks,
and ensure a more stable energy supply, even during periods of high occupancy (when dogs and people are enjoying themselves to the fullest 🐶😄).

🌡️ Efficient thermal comfort (aerothermal system)

The climate control at Mas Torrencito is provided by aerothermal technology, a highly efficient and environmentally friendly system that offers:

lower energy consumption,
reduced emissions,
stable and comfortable temperatures all year round.

Ideal for people to feel comfortable… and for dogs to sleep peacefully, without excessive heat or cold.

💧 Responsible water use

We use greywater recycling systems, reusing water from showers and washbasins for other non-potable purposes.

In a rural setting, every drop counts, especially when there are gardens, green areas and happy dogs running around.

♻️ Recycling and responsible waste management

We promote a conscious approach to waste management through:

selective waste separation,
reduction of plastics,
responsible use of cleaning products and consumables.

All with the aim of maintaining a clean, healthy and safe environment for people and pets.

🐾 Rural tourism with meaning (and with paw prints)

Mas Torrencito is:

a rural retreat where dogs are part of the family,
a project that cares for the natural environment,
and a place where sustainability and pet-friendly values are not labels, but a daily reality.

Because we believe there is no better rural tourism than one that respects nature… and those who enjoy it on four paws 🐕💚
