Villaluenga del Rosario

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: Normas Subsidiarias (an older, simpler plan), from 1992. 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?

IGME records 7 wells and boreholes in Villaluenga del Rosario. Half of the 7 with a depth found water at 4–100 m. 5 springs are recorded.

Ground: 48% low permeability, local groundwater only; 45% karstic or fissured aquifer, high productivity; 5.7% porous aquifer, high productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
