The sun was shining brightly and the heat was beginning to build. As every day, the 100,000-liter pool was ready to welcome its most enthusiastic guests. The water, crystal clear and chemical-free, was constantly filtered to ensure a safe and refreshing swim.

And, as always, at the edge of the pool was her: Manuela, the Golden Retriever that for years had been the soul of MasTorrencito. Manuela had a very clear rule: no dog should go without his daily dip.

The Splash Master

🐕 Manuela watched a new guest, a farmer named Rocco, who looked at the water with suspicion.

🐶 Rocco: “I don’t know… I’ve never been in a pool. Are you sure this is for me?”

🌊 Manuela (wagging her tail enthusiastically): “Of course! We all swim here. Look, I’ll show you…”

And, without hesitation, he jumped into the water with the elegance of someone born to swim.

💦 Splash!

From the inside, he moved his legs with ease, spinning around and showing how to do it.

🐕 Manuela: “It’s easy, you just have to trust yourself. And if you don’t, I’ll help you.”

🐶 Masto, another water lover, soon joined in.

🐕 Masto: “Or we can help you in another way!” – and, with a mischievous grin, he gave a gentle push to Rocco, who fell belly-first into the water.

💦 PLAF!

A second of silence… and then, a big doggy shake and a bark of excitement.

🐶 Rocco: “Hey, this is great!”

And so, another guest discovered the magic of MasTorrencito’s pool.

La entrada MasTorrencito: The Hotel with Swimming Pool for Dogs that Changes Everything 🏡🐾💦 se publicó primero en Casa Rural con Perros Girona.

I lived in Salamanca, where I was a professor of graphic design at the university. Everything changed when I met a student from a master’s program I was teaching. She was French and, as love knows no borders, I left everything and took a sabbatical year to go and live in Nice. We set up a beach bar near Cannes, and it went great. It went so well that we decided we could set up something similar elsewhere.

And this is where our journey begins. We decided to look for a suitable place and, my goodness! We found a mansion in Cehegín, Murcia. We went to see it several times and, after a lot of back and forth, we bought it. But after a week or two, we sold it. Because, let’s see, who in their right mind is going to come here on a daily basis and from where? Not to mention the investment it required? And, to top it all off, that summer we were over 50 degrees in the sun – OMG! So we went back to Nice with our tails between our legs.

In our endless search, Saint Google showed us a property in another place. Oh, my God! We fell in love with it…. What a mistake! What a tremendous mistake! We didn’t know what we were getting into. 125 W electricity, only one bathroom, rats the size of rabbits, and the exterior…. I can’t even talk about it. It was a total disaster. And so, without realizing it, we have been here for more than 17 years now, wondering at what point we thought this was a good idea.

Here I have suffered the unspeakable with the work on the house and, of course, with the relationship with my partner. I have become a SUPER SLAVE. This goes for the brave ones who want to get into this world: it is not as nice as it seems. I have been here for a long time and we are still working and investing. It’s non-stop.

A look back. Hello, I introduce myself… I’m Miguel… from MasTorrencito.

Looking back, I see with good eyes that we have made good friends and we have formed a great doggy family that many of you have known and that has accompanied us in good and bad times. Who does not remember Don Markos, my supercojo, or Doña Manuela, the queen of the house, or Max “the gorrilla” of Mas Torrencito? And, of course, Macarena, Mató, Matías, Marcelino, Martina (the fearless cat), and Mr. Mastín, the appeaser, who was unjustly taken away from us by an illness at the tender age of 5 years old? And now enjoying Masto, Maky, Mastitwo and Mamas.

Special words for my dear Mireia, who puts up with me, supports me and gives me encouragement and strength to continue with this life project. Without her, this work would be much more difficult to carry out.

My new family… Hello, I introduce myself… I’m Miguel… from MasTorrencito

And then there is YOU, dear customers. It’s like Pantone, there are all colors. But we have managed to create a little doggy paradise. And why doggy? Very simple, because they are better, more faithful and grateful than people. This little house was called Mas Torrent, but it turns out that there is a Relax Chateau next to Pals called Mas de Torrent. Five stars, great luxury, two Michelin stars in the restaurant, a real treat. Of course, we had smart customers who thought that for our price they could go there. And they would show up demanding their reservation…. What a fuss they made! So, to avoid more trouble, I closed the house, canceled all reservations, closed the website, and we started from scratch with this beautiful project that is today Mas Torrencito, the first house for pets that accepts people.

And what a change, really. You are such a love, although, as in any garden, there is always a thistle that spoils everything. We have hundreds, if not thousands of anecdotes, but we’ll keep the best: that it’s YOU, dear customer.

From Mas Torrencito we wish you a good day and that your dog accompanies you !!!!

Accepting That Not Everyone Loves Animals

One quiet afternoon at Mas Torrencito, while Miguel checked some emails, I, Manuela, watched from my favorite corner. The sun was coming through the window, warming my paws, and I couldn’t help reflecting on something that has been on my mind: there are people who don’t like dogs. I know, it’s hard to believe, but it’s true.

I approached Miguel, wagging my tail slowly, and gave him that look he always uses to get his attention.

Manuela: “Miguel, can you believe that there are humans who want nothing to do with us dogs?”
Miguel (without looking away from the computer): “Yes, Manuela, I know. But, hey, it’s okay. Everyone has their own tastes. Although, between you and me, they miss the best of life!”
Manuela: “Exactly. They’ll never know what it’s like to feel unconditional love, silent support or pure loyalty. But hey, we agree that it doesn’t make them any better or worse, right?”
Miguel: “Of course, Manuela. The important thing is that, even if they don’t like us, they respect us. Just as we respect their preferences.”

Respect Is Earned, But It Is Also Given

It’s true, respect has to be mutual. But, let’s be honest, sometimes the humans who live with us don’t do much to make them respect us. There are certain basic rules that, if followed, would help them see us in a better light.

Manuela: “For example, when someone is afraid, the minimum would be for you to step back a little when you cross paths with them. It doesn’t cost anything!”
Miguel: “Sure, but it’s also in my hand, as your master, to set an example. If someone tells me they don’t feel comfortable, it’s okay to hold you by the leash for a moment or keep a little distance. It’s a small gesture that can change a lot.”

Manuela: “And let’s not even talk about picking up after ourselves. Miguel, you have always been responsible, but there are humans who don’t do it and then look down on us, as if it were our fault.”
Miguel (laughing): “It’s true, Manuela. Sometimes I think that the humans who don’t pick up are the ones who hurt us dogs the most. Because they create rejection. And that’s not fair to you guys.”

The Rules, For Everyone. Respect according to Manuela de Mastorrencito

And then there are those rules that sometimes some humans think don’t affect them. Like the use of the leash in certain places. I, personally, have never minded being on a leash when the occasion calls for it. I remember the times when Mas Torrencito’s clients took me for walks through the beautiful villages of the Empordà. I walked quietly by their side, without pulling, enjoying the scenery. And when I was already old and could not go so fast, they slowed down for me.

Manuela: “Miguel, what I don’t understand is why there are humans who believe that rules are optional. If a place says that dogs must be tied up, then let’s go tied up! And if they don’t like it, let them talk it over with whoever it is, but don’t go around breaking the rules.”
Miguel: “Absolutely, Manuela. It doesn’t cost anything to follow the rules. And if someone thinks they are unfair, instead of ignoring them, the logical thing to do is to denounce them or look for another site. But, hey, not everyone thinks like you and me.”

In Our Home, We Also Ask for Respect

At Mas Torrencito, dogs are part of the family. Here we live with freedom, love and respect. But we also understand that there may be people who do not feel comfortable with us. Now, if you decide to come here, you know that we are part of the environment. We are not going to shut ourselves away or disappear because someone doesn’t like us.

Manuela: “You know, Miguel? What bothers me the most is when someone comes here, to our house, and acts as if we were the intruders.”
Miguel (crossing his arms and sighing): “Yes, Manuela. That doesn’t make sense. If they don’t like dogs, why come to a place where we are the center of everything? It’s as if they don’t want to enjoy the essence of Mas Torrencito.”

Manuela: “Exactly. And we don’t ask for much, just respect. We respect their beliefs and preferences, and they should respect our way of living and understanding life. If they don’t like it, let them look for another place. But don’t come here to complain.”
Miguel: “Well said, Manuela. Here, as anywhere, respect is fundamental.”

Final Reflection: Coexistence and Mutual Respect. Respect according to Manuela de Mastorrencito

Truth be told, not all humans have to love us, and that’s fine. But respect is non-negotiable. If we want to live in harmony, it takes an effort from both sides: us, the dogs, giving the best of ourselves, and the humans, understanding and respecting our needs and the spaces we share.

Manuela: “So, dear humans, if you don’t like us, that’s fine. But respect us, just as we respect you. And if you come to a place like Mas Torrencito, know that we are part of this house, and here we live in peace and freedom. If it is not your style, just look for another place. But if you decide to come, make sure you understand what it means to share your space with us.”

Because in the end, even if not everyone likes us, we deserve to live with dignity and respect, don’t we, Miguel?
Miguel (smiling): “Of course, Manuela. And it will always be that way, as long as I am here.”

From Mas Torrencito we wish you a good day and that your dog accompanies you !!!!
