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.

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?

IGME records 24 wells and boreholes in Campillo de Arenas. Half of the 24 with a depth found water at 10–70 m. 7 springs are recorded.

Ground: 55% karstic or fissured aquifer, high productivity; 39% low permeability, local groundwater only; 6.1% porous aquifer, medium productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
