Segura de los Baños

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.

No town plan: the region's general rules apply. 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 Segura de los Baños. That is not proof there is no water: ask local drillers. 3 springs are recorded.

Ground: 59% porous aquifer, medium productivity; 11% practically impermeable; 11% karstic or fissured aquifer, medium productivity; 9.6% low permeability, local groundwater only; 5.6% karstic or fissured aquifer, high productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
