And I wonder… what’s going on?

Reflections (open-hearted and without anesthesia) from a rural house that tries to survive… in a country that seems determined not to let you. Because as a person, I understand it perfectly.But as a rural house, as a self-employed, as a worker, as the one who gives EVERYTHING to make his project work… I don’t understand […]

🤯 I don’t know if I’m dumb… or VERY dumb.

💥 I don’t get it, is it me, am I losing my way? Yes, booking.com exists, it’s convenient, especially if you’re on the road and make a random stop… ok, I get it. But… a summer vacation? With two months to spare? 🤨 MANUEL LUQUE from the Colon, from the 80’s, SAID IT AS IT […]

🐾 “Manuela, honey… Franco didn’t make the swamps”

A simple lesson for a bitch who understands more than many humans with a flag on her wrist Yesterday, while I was talking to a friend from Salamanca – you know, those who tell you they’re not fachas but who have a nostalgia for the unique command and the mandatory military service – he uttered […]

What the barn was hiding… (2 and 3) by MasTorrencito

Chapter 1: Cleaning I’m Miguel. And this story starts with shit. Literally. The good kind, accumulated over the years, the kind that sticks to the boots and to the soul. Because Mastorrencito, you know, has its rural charm and its weight in history, but it also keeps secrets under dust, mud and oblivion. What I […]

Treasury… blessed are you among all the p… prosecutors 😇💸

Ayyy, what would I be without you, my love… Every year you give me a new experience. 2024 has been no different. In fact, it has been beautiful: one more year without inspection, and I already feel like I live in a garden without flowers 🌼… without colors … without soul … but with bills. […]

“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 […]

🌿 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 🐕💚
