Answer

Can you build on rural land in Mallorca?

Building on rural land in Mallorca is possible in some cases, but it is not a free-for-all. The key is whether the project respects planning rules, water limits, land use protection and access to public paths. Smaller works, renovations of old fincas and necessary living space are generally treated differently from large-scale new developments.
