It just doesn't rain enough here, it's so dry.
We are at the bottom of a mountain so there are springs but even these can dry up in the heat of the summer.
The other thing is the land, there is not much that hasn't been sold, and what is left can be quite expensive as it has become very popular here.
An average plot of land of about 2000 square meters cost around €20-40k without water.
We have looked here for 3 years but it's not easy, Portugal is much cheaper and has more water but nowhere can compare to Orgiva.
thanks for that info mark.. good to know..it SOUNDS to me like if you have enough storage you could manage IF you have springs.. but you do need huge tanks to get through the dry times.. but hey you have seen it !
and yes, im sure Portugal has much cheaper plots WITH water. .so that is worth remembering
