Can you build a house on rustic land?
Catalonia allows no new houses on rustic land. Restoring an existing or listed building is the way.

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 Alpens. That is not proof there is no water: ask local drillers.
Ground: 83% low permeability, local groundwater only; 12% porous aquifer, medium productivity.
Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
