Patience a gift in low layer by MasTorrencito
Of all the rural hotels, guesthouses and lodges in the area… they had to end up here! Not in any of the other 200 from France to here, NO, of course not. It had to be in my rural house, the one that is the most hidden, the one that requires a small detour, the […]
The Chinese who lives in China but who is not Chinese but my brother Carlos.
Yesterday the Chino arrived. And no, I am not referring to a neighbor or a friend, but to my brother Carlos, whom I call this way because he has been living in China for so many years that he is already part of it. His story is one of those that deserve to be told, […]
When writing outweighs silence ✍️💭
And today I don’t know what to write about… I’ve been in front of the screen for more than 30 minutes, with my fingers on the keyboard, waiting for something in my mind to «click», for an idea to slip through the noise of my thoughts and rescue me from this blockage. But it doesn’t […]
The last story by MasTorrencito
He always said the same thing… -What for? -sighed my best friend Agapito as he looked out the window, his eyes lost in the ochre tones of the fallen leaves. If nobody reads them… He said it with resignation, but he never stopped writing. Every morning, the same ritual: he woke up before the sun, […]
The reduction of working hours the extension of our concerns
In the heart of the Empordà, a small hotel businessman turns on the lights of his establishment with the same routine as always.

Today, friends, the new travelers’ reportofficially begins… and I only tell you one thing: this is going to be a journey worthy of Odyssey, but without ships, with a tablet and with many, MANY tourists who are going to look at me with a «What are you telling me, buddy?» look on their faces 😵💫. […]
The insomnia of some and the anger of others by MasTorrencito
When other people’s insomnia becomes your problem (or why you shouldn’t call at 2:30 a.m.) The night was at its peak. Silence enveloped the house like a warm blanket. Outside, there was only the sound of the wind rustling through the trees and the occasional off-key cricket that seemed to have had more coffee than […]
When worries won’t let you sleep… and neither will La Mamas.
There is nothing more frustrating than wanting to sleep and not being able to. It’s desperate, especially when you have all the time in the world to rest, without the pressure of having to get up early. When worries don’t let you sleep… and neither does La Mamas. But there I am, at three in […]
Letter from Manuela by MasTorrencito
Dear Miguel, my human forever Hello, Miguel. It’s me, Manuela. I don’t know if you remember the way I looked at you, that look that said everything without words, but today I want you to read what I always tried to tell you with my eyes and my tail that never stopped wagging: thank you […]
My detention by MasTorrencito
It was an apparently normal day. Nothing made me suspect that that day would be remembered as «the day the Mossos d’Esquadra invaded my house». 🌞🐾 My arrest by MasTorrencito 📢 BOOM! Three cars of the Mossos suddenly arrived, surrounding my house as if they were shooting an action movie. I, inside the house, surrounded […]
