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 […]
Do we prostitute ourselves for a good review on Booking.com?
If you think about it, some of us – not all of us – get to do things we would never do under other circumstances. For example, losing sleep because a Booking client has arrived and his face says it all: he didn’t like something. You know it’s not your fault, that you made it […]
Patience a gift in low layer by MasTorrencito
Of all the rural hotels, guesthouses and lodges in the area… they had to end up here! Not in any of the other 200 from France to here, NO, of course not. It had to be in my rural house, the one that is the most hidden, the one that requires a small detour, the […]
The Chinese who lives in China but who is not Chinese but my brother Carlos.
Yesterday the Chino arrived. And no, I am not referring to a neighbor or a friend, but to my brother Carlos, whom I call this way because he has been living in China for so many years that he is already part of it. His story is one of those that deserve to be told, […]
When writing outweighs silence ✍️💭
And today I don’t know what to write about… I’ve been in front of the screen for more than 30 minutes, with my fingers on the keyboard, waiting for something in my mind to «click», for an idea to slip through the noise of my thoughts and rescue me from this blockage. But it doesn’t […]
The last story by MasTorrencito
He always said the same thing… -What for? -sighed my best friend Agapito as he looked out the window, his eyes lost in the ochre tones of the fallen leaves. If nobody reads them… He said it with resignation, but he never stopped writing. Every morning, the same ritual: he woke up before the sun, […]
The reduction of working hours the extension of our concerns
In the heart of the Empordà, a small hotel businessman turns on the lights of his establishment with the same routine as always. His business, a modest family restaurant, survives with effort and dedication. It is not a big law firm or a multinational with millionaire budgets, but a project built with sweat, sacrifices and […]
🚀 Day 0: The Travelers’ Party Apocalypse 📝
Today, friends, the new travelers’ reportofficially begins… and I only tell you one thing: this is going to be a journey worthy of Odyssey, but without ships, with a tablet and with many, MANY tourists who are going to look at me with a «What are you telling me, buddy?» look on their faces 😵💫. […]
