A weekend of KK… and also one of those that recharge your soul.

Well… where do I start? Because what a KK weekend, with all the letters. One of those that leave you with a weird mix of frustration and a silly smile when you remember it. Because it’s been a weird weekend… very weird. On the one hand, a total disaster. On the other, an unexpected gift. […]

The faceless customer and the dog with personality by MasTorrencito

There is a kind of strange phenomenon, an everyday mystery that repeats itself more often than one would think: we remember dogs better than their owners. It’s not intentional, it’s not that we want to forget human faces while our memories hold fondly every detail of a furry snout or a wagging tail. It’s just […]

Circle of Life by MasTorrencito

The wind blew gently, stirring the dry leaves on the sidewalk. The afternoon was falling slowly, tinting the sky with orange and lilac tones. Circle of Life by MasTorrencito On a park bench, two figures remained seated. One of them, with his shoulders hunched and his gaze lost in the ground. The other, with a […]

All that glitters is not gold by MasTorrencito

The other day, a customer said to me with a smile on his face: -How lucky you are to live here! I smiled back and nodded. -Yes… the truth is that I’m very lucky, I can’t complain… but all that glitters is not gold. He looked at me with complicity and answered: -What am I […]

Tito, my father’s partner

War does not understand innocence. It does not distinguish between culprits and victims. It bears down on lives like a storm without compassion, sweeping away everything in its path. Tito, my father’s partner In those dark years, between 1937 and 1939, in the lands of Lleida, my father learned too early what it meant to […]

The Clients in Black (Part 2) by MasTorrencito

I have always thought that human beings are a box of surprises. And the world of lodging, in particular, reminds me of this every day.

🌿 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 🐕💚
