“If we weren’t…”

🐾 Told by Manuela, furry founder and eternal soul of Mastorrencito Hello. I’m Manuela The Golden Retriever. Yes, that blonde who started it all. The one who first stole, the one who first lay down in the sun on Mastorrencito’s porch and thought: “Here, yes. Here you can be happy.” Today I’m talking to you […]

Those prices…

The other day a lady calls me and wants to come this summer with her daughter…Very nice at first, she says she has seen some pictures, that it is her daughter who has told her to book… she asks if I can explain how we work, what services there are, if there is room… and […]

Letting go to enjoy by Mastorrencito

It blows my mind how many people are coming this year with dogs they don’t know or understand… and are afraid to let them out. I don’t understand it. In the last 15 days, with the good weather, it has already happened to me a couple of times, especially with foreigners: they arrive with the […]

Tiburón Booking.com by MasTorrencito

Yes, again with Booking… and no, it’s not for the best. I know, I have already badmouthed Booking.com before… and I will continue to do so. Because even though I hate to admit it: I need them. And that’s the worst thing. Because even if it’s not coherent, if you’re not on Booking, you lose […]

Dear Leon Muack (with K for Kuki)

We know that lately you are not at your best borsatilistic moment, that if your friend carrot-face pulls your shares down, that if the renamed Twitter doesn’t take off… In short, a whole bunch of nonsense. But for this very reason, we write to you from the heart of the Empordà, from MasTorrencito, the rural […]

The client who left her riding crop and handcuffs…

(and no, they were not for the dog… I think). Ahhhh, friends… Am I surprised? PO-SI-BLE-BLE-MEN-TE NO! 😂 At this point in the movie – and after hundreds, thousands of doggy and human guests at Mas Torrencito – few things leave me with my mouth open… but there’s always someone who makes you crack a […]

Eurovision 2025: The Song of Cynicism

I don’t even know where to start. Eurovision this year has been more than a musical disappointment. It has been a dirty, broken mirror of what we are as a society. Frankly, I don’t mind that Spain came 24th. Frankly, I don’t care if we go with a copla, with electronica or with a punk […]

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 […]

🌿 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 🐕💚
