My farewell letter… by MasTorrencito

Oh… I never imagined that writing this letter would be so complicated, perhaps the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. How does one say goodbye to all that one has known and loved? How does one put into words a whole journey full of experiences, memories and affections? And yet, here I am, with a heavy heart, writing this little word that is so hard to say: FAREWELL.

These have been wonderful years. My life, although simple, has been full of moments of joy, laughter and unique things. I have witnessed so many stories, so many moments that have touched my soul. I never lacked anything, I always had a place, a purpose. And although life is never perfect, I can’t complain, because I have been more than fortunate.

I was never sick. I never suffered great hardship. Never until today have I had to say goodbye to anyone close to me. How strange that sounds! But it is true. I have been lucky enough to be part of a life full of love and meaning. And that, for someone like me, is a privilege.

Ah… how could I forget those love-filled licks from Manuela, Markos, Mamás, Masto, Mastín, Mastitwo, Max, Macarena, Mató, Maky… Ah, the Maky’s! They never failed. Always so attentive, so close. They knew what I had inside me, they knew there was something for them, something that belonged to them as much as to me. That connection, that silent but deep understanding… I will miss them so much, more than I can express.

I have lived through it all. I have witnessed sunny days and endless rains, noisy parties and deep silences. I have been there in moments of euphoria and also in moments of loneliness. I have been useful, necessary, even indispensable at times. Others, maybe I felt forgotten, relegated, but I always knew that sooner or later they would look for me, they would need me. And that… that was enough for me.

I remember what my grandmother used to say, «If you had not existed, we would have to invent you.» How true those words are! Because, although simple, I have been part of something bigger, something important. I have witnessed lives being built, lives being changed, lives being grown. I have been there to receive, to hold, to be a refuge in the midst of chaos.

But everything in this life has an end, right? And now, mine has come. No more stories for me, no more days ahead. But you know what? I have no fear. I have no sadness. Just gratitude, immense gratitude for all that I lived, for all that I was, for all that they meant to me.

It has been many years together. Years full of laughter, of complicity, of unforgettable moments. And although my time here is over, I want you to know that I will always carry you in my heart. You were my reason for being, and that will never change, wherever I am.

So here I am, with these words that bid me farewell, leaving a little piece of me in each one of you. Thank you, thank you for everything. For the laughter, for the tears, for the times you looked at me with affection or with need. Thank you for being my home, my company, my world.

With infinite love and eternal gratitude,
The garbage can.


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 🐕💚
