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?
No well or borehole is recorded in Leza. That is not proof there is no water: ask local drillers. 7 springs are recorded.
Ground: 94% low permeability, local groundwater only; 5.6% karstic or fissured aquifer, medium productivity.
Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
