Mediana de Aragón

Can you build a house on rustic land?

Aragón requires at least 1 ha for a new house on rustic land.

DL 1/2014, art. 34.2. A town plan can be stricter.

Plan in force: Plan General (a full town plan), from 2023. 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?

IGME records 3 wells and boreholes in Mediana de Aragón. Half of the 3 with a depth found water at 50–335 m. 2 springs are recorded.

Ground: 92% practically impermeable; 7.6% porous aquifer, high productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
