Paracuellos de la Ribera

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: Delimitación de Suelo Urbano (only marks the town's edge), from 1986. 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 3 wells and boreholes in Paracuellos de la Ribera. Half of the 3 with a depth found water at 9–10 m. One spring is recorded.

Ground: 87% practically impermeable; 12% porous aquifer, high productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
