Something weird is going on… by MasTorrencito

There are days when you sit down, take a deep breath and think, «What’s going on?» I’ve been taking care of this place for 19 years, and for me it’s more than a business. It is my home, my refuge, and also yours. MasTorrencito has witnessed so many stories, so many hugs with your furry ones, breakfasts full of endless chats, walks in the countryside at sunset… and now, more than ever, I feel a huge emptiness. This past weekend was the strangest and most painful I have experienced since I opened the doors. Do you know what happened? A zero.

Nothing, not a reservation, not a call, not a message of «Is there room for two of us and our dog? And believe me, silence hurts more when you know that you have done everything from the heart. I lowered prices to ridiculous levels, almost 50% off. Even so, there was no one to fill these rooms that await your stories.

This corner, normally full of life, is now so quiet that it seems that the wind and the leaves are the only ones who visit it. The fireplace is still lit, but it misses those late night conversations with a glass of wine in hand. The blankets are waiting to cover you as you relax with your furry friends by your side. And I… well, I spend my evenings thinking about how different everything was just a couple of years ago.

Figueres streets with people but empty stores… Something strange is happening… by MasTorrencito

The other day, I had to go to Figueres for some business with the notary. I parked, as usual, on Carrer Nou, that commercial street where you usually have to fight for a space. To my surprise, there were plenty of spaces. And when I started walking, I noticed something even stranger: the stores, those that always have beautiful windows at this time of year, were empty. There were sales clerks reorganizing clothes, owners cleaning counters, but customers… not a single one. La Rambla, normally bustling, looked like a winter painting without characters.

At first, I thought, «Maybe it’s just a bad day.» But then I realized that this is something bigger. We are in a crisis that you can’t see, but that we all feel. That feeling that something is not right and, the funny thing, no one is complaining. We all move on as best we can, but without realizing it, we are letting silence win us over.

Rural Farmhouse

And here I am, looking at the empty rooms and wondering: «Where are they? Where are those families that filled MasTorrencito with laughter? Where are those puppies running around the farm while their owners sunbathe on the terrace?» Because I’ll be honest: this place makes no sense without you.

Invitation with secret code for readers only at the end of the text

Therefore, I invite you to break that silence. Come this weekend. Bring your partner, your friends, your dogs, whoever you want. Here awaits the fireplace, soft sheets, and a place that does not need luxuries, because the real luxury is to disconnect, breathe fresh air and connect with what matters.

I promise you that here you will not find queues, stress or rush. Just tranquility, good homemade food, and the usual affection. And this weekend, prices are the last thing you need to worry about. Pack your bags, grab your furry and come. Because MasTorrencito is not the same without 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 🐕💚
