Sanlúcar de Barrameda

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.

Plan in force: Plan General (a full town plan), from 1996. The region's planning viewer ↗

The national urban information system (SIU) maps the land class for 99% of the municipality.

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

Is there water?

IGME records 58 wells and boreholes in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Half of the 58 with a depth found water at 5–20 m. One spring is recorded.

Ground: 75% low permeability, local groundwater only; 16% practically impermeable; 5.6% surface water body.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
