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 7 wells and boreholes in Montizón. Half of the 5 with a depth found water at 150–160 m. 3 springs are recorded.
Ground: 90% practically impermeable; 9.2% porous aquifer, high productivity.
Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
