Can you build a house on rustic land?
Extremadura requires at least 1.5 ha for a new house on rustic land.

The national urban information system (SIU) maps the land class for 100% of the municipality.
Only the town hall can confirm it, in writing: ask for a certificado urbanístico.
Is there water?
No well or borehole is recorded in Alcuéscar. That is not proof there is no water: ask local drillers.
Ground: 81% practically impermeable; 19% low permeability, local groundwater only.
Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
