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: Normas Subsidiarias (an older, simpler plan), from 1995. 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?
No well or borehole is recorded in Escañuela. That is not proof there is no water: ask local drillers. One spring is recorded.
Ground: 41% practically impermeable; 38% low permeability, local groundwater only; 21% porous aquifer, high productivity.
Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
