What rustic land in Bentarique allows and holds, for the municipality as a whole. For a particular plot, open it in the map: the report answers for that exact point.
Can you build a house on rustic land?
Andalucía requires at least 2.5 ha for a new house on rustic land.
Other cases: 5 ha on forest land.
Decreto 550/2022, art. 31. A town plan can be stricter.
Plan in force: Delimitación de Suelo Urbano (only marks the town's edge), from 1979. The region's planning viewer ↗
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?
IGME records 10 wells and boreholes in Bentarique. Half of the 9 with a depth found water at 7–18 m. One measured yield: 40 L/s. 6 springs are recorded.
Ground: 41% karstic or fissured aquifer, high productivity; 28% low permeability, local groundwater only; 21% porous aquifer, high productivity; 7.7% practically impermeable.
Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
