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 anthem. But the fact that Israel came second, that really burns me. It makes me sick inside. It makes me indignant.

And no, it’s not about the singer. Let’s be clear: this is not against a person, but against what she represents, against the context that has been swept under the carpet with glitter and colored spotlights. We are talking about a country that is being accused of war crimes, of massacres, of a brutal cleansing in Gaza, and yet it is rewarded and applauded in prime time.

And then I ask myself a question that no one seems to want to answer:

Why does Israel participate in Eurovision and Palestine does not?
It is not a question of geography – because Eurovision has included Australia. It is not a question of music – because there is talent in every corner of the world.
It is a question of power. Who has a voice and who doesn’t. Of who has means, protection, international narrative. And who has only rubble, corpses and silence.

Meanwhile, we, as spectators, swallow the show, vote, give our opinion, get excited… and continue feeding a circus where politics is disguised as culture and ethics is sacrificed in the name of spectacle.

And there are still those who are surprised that we are anesthetized, that they manipulate us as they wish.

The case of Spain is the least of it. That Portugal gives us only six points? That a proposal like Nebulossa’s barely scrapes votes? It is no longer surprising. It is not only a question of tastes or neighborhoods. It is that all this smells of calculation, of quotas, of crossed interests. It is a board in which music is just an excuse to place chips.

But the worst thing is not the post. The worst thing is what it reveals: that the pain of some is worth less than the show of others. That memory is fragile if there is spectacle. That ethical coherence is drowned in hollow applause.

And then we wonder why people distrust everything. Why cynicism, anger and disaffection grow.

Eurovision this year was not just a gala. It was a brutal lesson in what we are capable of applauding when we choose to look the other way.

And in the meantime, I…
I stay in my piece of paradise, here with my dogs, breathing deeply, trying not to let my blood boil with so much injustice, corruption and depravity of human beings. Trying not to let the peace that surrounds me be invaded by a world that, frankly, seems to have lost its mind.

From MasTorrencito we wish you a good day and may your dogs be with you!!!!

🌿 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 🐕💚
