Rillo de Gallo

Can you build a house on rustic land?

Castilla-La Mancha requires at least 1.5 ha for a new house on rustic land.

Other cases: 3 ha on protected rustic land.

Orden 4/2020, art. 5. A town plan can be stricter.

Plan in force: Normas Subsidiarias (an older, simpler plan), from 1986. The region's planning viewer ↗

The SIU does not map land classes here: the town plan is the source.

Only the town hall can confirm it, in writing: ask for a certificado urbanístico.

Is there water?

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

Ground: 41% low permeability, local groundwater only; 23% practically impermeable; 15% karstic or fissured aquifer, medium productivity; 12% karstic or fissured aquifer, high productivity; 9.4% porous aquifer, high productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
