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?

Ground: 43% low permeability, local groundwater only; 43% practically impermeable; 11% porous aquifer, high productivity.
