For many of the large fincas you see as ruins, you'll need to actually farm (register as a farmer!) at least 10,000 m2 in order to start restoration. There is a reason most are empty and just falling down.
And one other important consideration....absolutely no chance of an internet connection!! You'll be stuck with satellite, which is beyond the realms of frustration with huge lag times.
Sorry to say, but a webmaster's got to live urbanized.

Bajo Aragon/ matarana has got wifi covering the whole area. You have to buy a hectare in most places *some 2.5 hectares* but you can build up to 200m on there as well as swimming pool, it all depends on the region....


Catalunya, Valencia and costal Andalucia are strict, but go inland a bit and you're o.k

Getting a loan on land is a fucker though. But because I'm looking in the middle of nowhere, lands cheap.
