Can you build a house on rustic land?

Andalucía requires at least 2.5 ha for a new house on rustic land.

Other cases: 5 ha on forest land.

Decreto 550/2022, art. 31. 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?

IGME records 20 wells and boreholes in Puerto Serrano. Half of the 19 with a depth found water at 2–60 m. 21 springs are recorded.

Ground: 79% low permeability, local groundwater only; 7.1% porous aquifer, medium productivity; 6.3% karstic or fissured aquifer, high productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
