Imagine this: your dog runs free through 7 hectares of countryside, takes a dip in the pool, takes a nap under an olive tree and at night curls up next to you. That’s MasTorrencito! The first rural lodging where dogs rule (and humans too, a little bit 😉).

Here there is no “no dogs”, “small breeds only” or “must sleep outside”. Here the rule is: “If you are furry and happy, welcome you are”. You want your golden retriever to swim in the pool? Okay. You want your mastiff to walk around as if he were the owner of the estate? Perfect. Your Chihuahua will get on the couch? Of course!

And the atmosphere is so relaxed that even the most nervous dogs end up sunbathing on the porch as if they were little gentlemen.

Walks in Girona: Where dogs also have their favorite route

Girona is a city that loves dogs (and not only because there are more dogs than children in some neighborhoods!) It has signposted routes for stress-free walks with your furry friend:

• La Ruta del Ter: For those who like to walk along the river and stop every two meters to sniff.
• Hortes de Santa Eugènia: Ideal for instagrammers dogs (lots of greenery, flowers and beautiful photos).
• Sant Daniel – Font del Ferro: For the adventurers who are not afraid of a little ascent.
• Ribera del Onyar: If your dog is more of a short walk and terrace afterwards.

And the best: there are fountains, benches and garbage cans! (Because picking up poops with a view of the old town of Girona has its charm, right?).

Banyoles Lake

20 minutes from Girona is the Lake of Banyoles, a place so beautiful that even your dog will stare at the water as if he understood landscapes. You can go all around the lake (6 km) while your furry one sniffs everything, gets his paws wet and, if he’s brave, even goes for a swim!

There is also a dog park nearby, so if your dog is more into socializing than extreme hiking, he or she can make four-legged friends here.

Beaches where your dog can surf (or at least splash around)

Yes, there are beaches on the Costa Brava that prohibit dogs, but there are also hidden gems where your furry one can run through the sand as if it were its own Fast & Furious: Mission Arena.

• La Rubina (Empuriabrava): The most famous pet-friendly beach. Wide, with shallow water and full of happy dogs.
• Rec del Molí (L’Escala): Ideal if your dog is more for relaxing on the beach than partying on the sand.
• Playa de las Barcas (Colera) and Sant Jordi (Llançà): For those who want to combine sea and mountain in the same day.

If you want a vacation where your furry friend is not a problem, but the protagonist, Mastorrencito is your ideal place. With nearby trails for walking, beaches to run and lakes to cool off.

So now you know: pack your suitcase, food bowl and toys… we are going on a trip to Mastorrencito! What do you think of these proposals for tourism with dogs?

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 !!!!

Dogs are very special animals and quite transparent and expressive. It is relatively easy to guess what is going on with them and how they are feeling. However, it is always good to know what they really like and what they hate in order to make them happier as much as we can.

The behavior, characteristics and in general the psychological traits of dogs are increasingly the subject of scientific studies. For example, a study conducted by the National Autonomous University of Mexico in 2017 concluded that dogs distinguish human emotions, as each one is represented in their brain, and specifically the one they distinguish best is happiness.

This is how they perceive our emotions and act accordingly. Surely at some time, when you have felt sad or very happy, your dog has reciprocated by cheering you up or trying to comfort you… It’s no coincidence!

Communication with our dog, therefore, is very important. We must make an effort to make our facial expressions clear to him, as well as use body language to communicate with him. Although he understands us, he is not a fortune teller; be patient, especially during the first weeks at home, a fundamental moment to establish the basis of your relationship.

The tone of voice also influences. Dogs are quite guided by the expressiveness of our voice, because so many years of domestication have taught them that it is a good method to understand us. It seems that, according to a study carried out by the Eötvös Lorand University in Budapest, dogs’ brains process language in two hemispheres. In one, verbal language, and in the other, non-verbal language (i.e. tone of voice and gestures), in much the same way as our brains do. That is why they are able to perceive not only what we say to them, but also the intonations with which we address them. And that’s why they pick up on our moods so well.

But, for a good communication and a good relationship with our dogs, it is essential to know what they love and what they hate. Therefore, we bring you some of their favorite actions, for you to keep in mind.

Being the center of attention. 15 things dogs love.

Almost all dogs, in general, love to be part of a group and be the center of attention. I’m sure your dog enjoys it very much when you bring friends or family home and everyone gives him a cuddle.

Making “doggy” friends

You must keep in mind that your dog does not only need your company, he also needs to socialize with other dogs. Therefore, on your walks, frequent parks, squares… where he can come into contact with his own kind and make friends.

Your bed, the sofa… 15 things dogs love.

You may have noticed that they love to sleep in anything other than their bed, and if possible with you. This will depend on the rules you establish at home, but usually they love to take little naps in places that smell like you, such as the sofa or an armchair.

Preparing your bed

Surely you have noticed how, before going to sleep, your dog turns several times in his bed, and even places his blanket with his paw to his liking. This is his way of “making his bed”.

Cuddles and caresses

This is no secret: most dogs love cuddling and being pampered by their family. The key is to find a balance between cuddling and the necessary discipline.

Exercise…

… especially if it’s with you. Dogs love to spend time in our company and what better way to do that than a run, a hike or a swim.

Taking your things away from you

You already know that your dog loves anything that smells like you, especially when you are not at home. Therefore, it is common for him to “steal” clothes or shoes from you to get your attention and to have something that reminds him of you. You can solve this by giving him an old t-shirt or something similar so he can keep it on his bed and not be tempted to take anything.

New toys

It doesn’t fail, no matter how many toys our dog has, he will always welcome a new knot or ball and will not let go for a few days.

Stimuli and challenges

Dogs can easily get bored if they are not stimulated by new challenges, especially the more active ones. Taking them to practice agility, including them (as much as possible) in some of our plans or taking a trip to the beach can be good options.

Travel

Although dogs are creatures of habit, they also appreciate a change of scenery and environment, with new places and smells to explore. Now that it is easier and easier to travel with them, you can take them with you. You’ll both have a great time.

Eat

Eating is probably one of dogs’ favorite things to do. But, …….
