Un ryokan a la catalana / A Catalan ryokan

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE

Al nord del Solsonès, en una de les zones amb menys habitants de Catalunya, podeu trobar aquesta barreja d'allotjament japonès dins d'una masia catalana. Es tracta del Mas Puigpinós, ara convertit en hotel japonès, el que vindria a ser un ryokan (petit allotjament rural al Japó). Els propietaris són una parella formada per una catalana i un japonès, pel que tot l'hotel reflecteix aquesta barreja. De fet, la masia mateixa és propietat familiar des de fa segles (obviament per la part catalana).

L'estructura principal és obviament una preciosa masia d'origen medieval, al terme de Lladurs, prop de l'església de Timoneda (a Lladurs no hi ha poble propiament dit, només masies aillades). La part japonesa la trobareu en la decoració, el mobiliari (algunes habitacions tenen futons i tatami) i el menjar, plenament japonès però amb aires del paisatge del Solsonès. Només faltaria, sobretot als mesos freds de l'any, que tinguessin un onsen, però potser d'aquí un temps...

==============================

At the feet of the Catalan Pyrenees, in the comarca of Solsonès, one of the least populated areas of Catalonia, you can find this mixture of Japanese accommodation inside a Catalan manor (masia). This is Mas Puigpinós, now converted into a Japanese hotel, what you can call it a ryokan (small rural accommodation in Japan). The owners are a couple made up of a Catalan woman and a Japanese man, so the whole hotel reflects this mix. In fact, the manor itself has been family property for centuries (obviously on the Catalan side). Puigpinós means "pine hill" in Catalan.

The main structure is obviously a beautiful masia of medieval origin, in the district of Lladurs, near the church of Timoneda (in Lladurs there is no village proper, only isolated churches and manors). You will find the Japanese part in the decoration, the furniture (some rooms have futons and tatami mats) and the food, fully Japanese but with elements of the Solsonès landscape. The only thing missing, especially in the cold months of the year, would be for them to have an onsen, but maybe in a while...
