Puertomingalvo

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 1983. 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?

No well or borehole is recorded in Puertomingalvo. That is not proof there is no water: ask local drillers. 3 springs are recorded.

Ground: 63% karstic or fissured aquifer, medium productivity; 21% porous aquifer, high productivity; 12% low permeability, local groundwater only.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
