Do you want to know what a monumental tease is?

This goes for all of you who continue booking through Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, Agoda, Trivago and company, thinking that it is «more comfortable», «safer» or that «this way I save trouble». And I know that with this I’m going to get into a LIOUS mess!!! because booking.com is always on the lookout… and today will […]

We are…

Is it really impossible to go without Internet for a day? A reflection from the field. 🌳📵 I keep asking myself, is WiFi so essential when you come to the country for a day or two? Can’t we really disconnect for a while from this hyper-connected world? 🤯 I say this with a mixture of […]

🖤 THE LOSS 🖤

And what is it like to lose your pet? For me, who has not had any children (at least that I know of… 😅), losing Manuela, Markos, Mastín, Max,…. was, in a word: RIPPING. That’s right, with capital letters. Because she wasn’t «just a pet.»She was family. A companion. Part of my soul. And if […]

You don’t like dogs? That’s your right, buddy!🐾

And I say this because I live surrounded by snouts, paws, happy drool and some kibble stolen from breakfast…. But yes, it’s totally respectable that there are people who DON’T like dogs. And you know what? It’s okay. It doesn’t make you a cold, unfeeling being, or a «soulless creep», as the muzzle fundamentalists sometimes […]

The stress of having a dog… because of people

There is one thing that often goes unsaid, but that those of us who live with dogs feel every day: the stress, the constant tension for the simple fact of walking or going out for a drink with our four-legged companion. And no, I’m not talking about the dog. I’m talking about the environment. About […]

Do you know what is UX, B2B or B2C?

A few days ago, my friend Andrés, from Masia la Palma, showed me a review left by a customer. One of those reviews that don’t need frills or long paragraphs: few words, but so well chosen that they pinch your soul. A nice review, yes… but, above all, authentic. One of those that manage to […]

«Eight, the 08:00 dog.»

Some days start like any other day. You wake up, get dressed, get the keys, go out. There is no music in the car. Just the low hum of the engine and the heat of a summer that is not yet official, but already burning. «Eight, the 08:00 dog.» The sky is not even completely […]

Just when you thought you’d seen it all… 😅

Well, no. It’s not going to be. 😬 Life has this habit of surprising you when you least expect it. Sometimes for the better, and sometimes… I’d better shut up. I’ve been doing this for years, I’ve dealt with all kinds of clients: high, low, believers, atheists, nice, intense, weird, heavy… but yesterday… yesterday was […]

Bye Bye Easter… hello reality

Fuck, it seems unbelievable. So much talk about Easter Week here and there, that if it’s going to rain, that if it snows, that if this and that… and bam, it’s gone. We haven’t even heard about it. And the worst thing is that we keep calling it «Easter vacations», when in fact it is […]

🎁 The fool of the boat… animal lover’s prize version 🐾

There are fools and there are jetas… I got the JETASTONTOS…. jajajajajajajaja There are people who touch the prize… and others who touch the noses. And then there is today’s case, who manages to do both at the same time with an elegance worthy of study. 🧐 As you know, I usually collaborate with associations, […]

🌿 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 🐕💚
