If you decide to dress your pet, it is essential that you do it consciously and with appropriate clothing.
It is not known how he developed his addiction, but veterinarians believe he drank every day with his owner.
🌿 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 🐕💚
