Can you build a house on rustic land?

Castilla-La Mancha requires at least 1.5 ha for a new house on rustic land.

Other cases: 3 ha on protected rustic 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?

Ground: 42% low permeability, local groundwater only; 22% porous aquifer, medium productivity; 18% karstic or fissured aquifer, medium productivity; 16% porous aquifer, high productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
