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.

Ground: 26% practically impermeable; 24% porous aquifer, medium productivity; 22% low permeability, local groundwater only; 15% surface water body; 7% karstic or fissured aquifer, high productivity; 5.7% porous aquifer, high productivity.
