What rustic land in Melide allows and holds, for the municipality as a whole. For a particular plot, open it in the map: the report answers for that exact point.
Can you build a house on rustic land?
Galicia allows a new house on rustic land only when a farm needs it. Otherwise it has to go in a village, or restore a building.
Ley 2/2016, arts. 35 y 39. A town plan can be stricter.

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 Melide. That is not proof there is no water: ask local drillers.
Ground: 99% practically impermeable.
Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
