Fuente Palmera

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: Plan General (a full town plan), from 1992. The region's planning viewer ↗

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 68 wells and boreholes in Fuente Palmera. Half of the 68 with a depth found water at 8–11 m. 3 springs are recorded.

Ground: 94% porous aquifer, medium productivity; 6.3% practically impermeable.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
