Esparza de Salazar / Espartza Zaraitzu

Can you build a house on rustic land?

Navarre allows a new house on rustic land only where the town plan provides for it, on at least 1 ha.

DFL 1/2017, art. 115. A town plan can be stricter.

Plan in force: Plan General (a full town plan), from 2004. 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 Esparza de Salazar / Espartza Zaraitzu. That is not proof there is no water: ask local drillers.

Ground: 77% practically impermeable; 12% porous aquifer, high productivity; 6.4% porous aquifer, medium productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
