Plan

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: Normas Subsidiarias (an older, simpler plan), from 1999. The region's planning viewer ↗

The national urban information system (SIU) maps the land class for 1.6% 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 Plan. That is not proof there is no water: ask local drillers. 2 springs are recorded.

Ground: 56% karstic or fissured aquifer, medium productivity; 27% porous aquifer, medium productivity; 8.9% karstic or fissured aquifer, high productivity; 5.3% low permeability, local groundwater only.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
