Can you build a house on rustic land?

No town plan: the region's general rules apply. The region's planning viewer ↗

The national urban information system (SIU) maps the land class for 0.7% 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 Sos del Rey Católico. That is not proof there is no water: ask local drillers. 3 springs are recorded.

Ground: 59% low permeability, local groundwater only; 21% practically impermeable; 12% porous aquifer, high productivity; 8.2% porous aquifer, medium productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
