The Enigma Under More Torrents

The sunset tinged MasTorrencito with an orange glow, and everything seemed calm, except for the main entrance, where the works had taken a completely unexpected turn. The Enigma Under More Torrents Two of the workers looked nervously at each other beside the hole they had dug, while I approached with Jordi. Their dogs, Lluna and […]

L@s amig@s by MasTorrencito

Ah… that word that is used so lightly. «Friend» is said too easily these days, as if it means nothing. You call a co-worker a friend, a longtime acquaintance, even someone with whom you’ve barely shared a chat. But that’s not friendship. It’s just a casual acquaintance or a circumstantial sympathy. True friendship is not […]

The day I convinced God to create dogs

Imagine a huge sky, with fluffy clouds like cotton candy. I, Miguel, owner of MasTorrencito, walk from one side to the other with my arms crossed. God, majestic but with a robe full of coffee stains, watches me with curiosity). Miguel: God, we have a serious problem. God: What happened again? What happened now? Did […]

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, […]

The Silence of the Borregos by MasTorrencito

This goes for all of you, those who have made a farce of public aid, those who have played with our hopes in the name of energy transition, progress and the «common good».

My Manuela: A Miracle of Life

There are moments in life that mark us forever, experiences that transform us in a way that only those who have lived them can understand. Many would think that the figures that have the greatest impact on us are our parents, siblings, an inspiring teacher or even a famous person. But in my case, that […]

Mas Torrencito’s false clients

I remember it as if it happened yesterday. It’s one of those things that can’t be erased, like that smell that remains impregnated in the memory. The false clients of Mas Torrencito For me, that cursed aroma is that of aniseed. It doesn’t matter if it’s a cake, a liqueur or a measly cookie. I […]

The Mystery of the Smells and Apparitions in Mas Torrencito (final)

The night progressed and we all tried to relax, although the wet footprints and Lolo’s strange behavior intrigued us. The Mystery of the Smells and Apparitions in Mas Torrencito Lourdes continued to pamper her little Yorkshire, and the clients, although a little tense, tried to convince themselves that everything had a rational explanation. Suddenly, Oliver […]

Canine Respect – Teaching Children to Ask for Permission

Manuela gives you a tip about touching experts you don’t know. Canine Respect – Teaching Children to Ask for Permission The Importance of Asking Permission Today I have to touch on a topic that should be basic, but is often overlooked: why should children learn to ask permission before touching a dog? It seems simple, […]

🌿 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 🐕💚
