The SIU does not map land classes here: the town plan is the source.
Only the town hall can confirm it, in writing: ask for a certificado urbanístico.
Is there water?

Ground: 37% karstic or fissured aquifer, high productivity; 27% practically impermeable; 22% porous aquifer, medium productivity; 9.5% low permeability, local groundwater only.
Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
