The Selfishness of the Wandering Traveler by MasTorrencito
It was a quiet afternoon when he arrived. A German man, tall, serious, with a large, black, unneutered dog. It was not something that went unnoticed, especially since I have dogs and had already made it clear in the house conditions that this was a problem. The Selfishness of the Wandering Traveler by MasTorrencito But […]
The Escapist by MasTorrencito
The day before yesterday, Mastitwo decided that his life of comfort was no longer enough. He ran away. I have no idea where he got out; we checked every inch of the fence, every board, every possible gap. Nothing. Not a clue. But the strangest thing was how he came back: completely covered in what […]
My farewell letter… by MasTorrencito
Oh… I never imagined that writing this letter would be so complicated, perhaps the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. How does one say goodbye to all that one has known and loved? How does one put into words a whole journey full of experiences, memories and affections? And yet, […]
The Silence of the Borregos by MasTorrencito
This goes for all of you, those who have made a farce of public aid, those who have played with our hopes in the name of energy transition, progress and the «common good».

The dirty room by MasTorrencito

The Telephone Odyssey of Teresa and her Three Little Dogs! 🐕🐕🐕 It was the afternoon of Epiphany, one of those afternoons when you can no longer cope with your life after weeks of parties, big meals, and eternal after-dinner conversations. I, sunk in the abyss of the January slope, surrounded by mountains of clothes to […]
The envelope under the mattress by MasTorrencito
If there is one thing I have learned at Mas Torrencito, it is that there are no normal days here. Extraordinary is routine, and that morning was no exception. The envelope under the mattress by MasTorrencito It was an ordinary Monday, one of those Mondays when the sun shyly enters through the windows and the […]
«An Encounter on the Camino» by MasTorrencito
The afternoon sun bathed the deserted road in orange tones. Between the silence broken by the murmur of the wind, something caught my attention. It was a small lump that moved clumsily to one side of the asphalt. When I got closer, I could distinguish him: a dog, small, dirty, with tangled fur and a […]
RIP Rural Tourism by MasTorrencito
The end of rural tourism: chronicle of a death announced There was a time when rural tourism was a real luxury for the soul. Imagine: a stone house in a lost corner of the world, a homemade breakfast with grandma’s jam, and a silence broken only by the singing of the birds. It was almost […]
