The view

View 1.9 km

Short view    the view runs 23 km to the west; towards the north-west the ground closes it at 120 m

Longest view22.8 km, west
Shortest view120 m, north-west
Ground in view within 5 km12.2%

This is the shape of the land alone. Woods, hedges, barns and the neighbours' houses block a view too, and none of them are in a model of the bare ground, so a plot can be far more shut in on the ground than this shows. The edges of the shaded area are approximate.

Buildings on the map within 1 kmNot shown

The map is missing many buildings here, so they are not counted. The kind of place is the EU's degree of urbanisation for the 1 km square the plot is in, in the method's own terms. People are from the European Commission's population grid for 2020. It spreads census counts over 100 m squares, so a count for a small area is an estimate. Checked against French tax records, the 1 km figure was within a third of the real count on six plots in ten. The 5 km figure was within a tenth on two in three. Holiday homes and farms can stand where nobody is registered as living. Buildings are those on the map, including barns, garages and any on the plot itself.

Nearest fire station

Fire station4 min    2.3 km
Ambulance stationNot available here

Times are for a car at ordinary speeds from the station on the map. They are the drive alone, so help takes longer than this to arrive. They do not include the time to call out a crew. Many rural fire brigades are volunteers who come to the station from home. A station on the map is not a promise of cover. The emergency control room decides which crew to send, and it may come from further away. Not every station is on the map, and one built recently may be missing, so there may be a nearer one. Stations in another country are not included. Each row is the quickest to reach of the three nearest. Drive times are estimates without traffic.

On those maps about a quarter of the land in line with a runway is loud. Aircraft that turn after take-off are not followed. Flights are commercial passenger flights only, so freight, business, training and military flying are not counted. Swiss maps of small airfields show light aircraft reaching the planning limit for noise a median of 1.6 km from the runway. Helicopter landing sites and military low-flying areas are not included.

Processionary caterpillars have hairs that cause rashes and harm dogs. Listed with what lives nearest first, then by how many months it is active. Months are modelled from daily temperatures on a 9 km grid, adjusted to the plot's height and the lie of the land. Checked against field counts at 7 tick, 5 mosquito and 5 midge study sites. Highland midges are shown where they are recorded in the region. The first and last month of a season can be a month out. Distances are in a straight line, from a 10 m map of tree cover and from OpenStreetMap. Sightings are records published to GBIF since 2000, kept where their position is known to within 2 km. A sighting shows that someone recorded one there. No sighting does not mean there are none. Rain and the dryness of the air are not included. A dry summer can stop ticks for weeks, and mosquitoes need standing water. It says nothing about how many insects there are. Ditches, water butts and small streams are not on the map.

Wild animals None

None of the four large carnivores was found in this 10 km square. A model puts about 4 wild boar per km² here

WolfNone within 50 km
Brown bearNone within 50 km
LynxNone within 50 km
Golden jackalNone within 50 km
Wild boar, modelledAbout 4 per km²    about 4 per km² is typical across Europe

Large carnivores 2017 to 2022/23. The large carnivores are mapped in 10 km squares by national experts, from animals found dead, DNA, camera traps and checked tracks. The record ends in 2022 or 2023. Wolves and golden jackals have spread since, so a square that was empty then may not be now. An empty square means none was found there. The lynx is the Eurasian lynx. The Iberian lynx is not included. Wild boar numbers are a model fitted to hunting records and to a few places where boar were counted. It matches the official hunting records in France only loosely, and it describes the years before African swine fever, which has since reduced boar in parts of Germany, Poland, Italy and the Baltic states.

The zone comes from the plans the authorities publish. The rules for each zone are in the plan's documents. Protections, risks and other constraints can apply on top of them. Only the municipality can say what may be built on a plot. Outside the Valencia region this is the class of land the municipal plan sets, as the ministry records it.

Rules on building, felling and drainage inside a protected area are set nationally and locally. Ask the planning authority what applies to this plot. Boundaries are those each country reported to the European Environment Agency. They are drawn at European scale, so a plot close to a boundary may fall on either side. The national authority's own map is definitive. National designations are not published for Estonia, Ireland, Turkiye, and Natura 2000 covers EU countries only.

Rain and snow521 mm a year

Averages for 1991 to 2020. The temperatures start from daily records for the area and are adjusted for the plot's height and for whether it sits in a dip or on a rise. They are air temperatures in the shade. At 956 weather stations the monthly highs came within 1 °C of the station at 4 in 5, and the lows at 3 in 5. Rain and snow are for the area around the plot, on a grid of about 9 km. In hills and mountains one valley can be much wetter or drier than the next. On a dry Alpine valley floor the figure can be twice what falls there. The rain totals are uncertain. At 5,600 weather stations in Germany they came out about 15% higher than the stations measured, and rain gauges catch a little less than falls. The wet and dry months matched.

Wind Sheltered

Wind in this area is sheltered by European standards, averaging 2.7 m/s at 50 m above ground, mainly from the east-south-east; rising ground upwind gives the plot some shelter

Wind speed is a regional figure for 50 m above ground, clear of trees and buildings. Shelter is estimated from the shape of the land and is not measured here. Woods, hedges and buildings also give shelter and are not included.

Snow Rare

Snow is rare here - most winters pass with little or none on the ground

Trendno clear trend

Based on satellite images on a 500 m grid, so it describes the area around the plot rather than the plot itself. Snow under forest can be hidden from the satellite, and snow that melts within a day may be missed.

Frost None

No frost in a typical year

FrostRare. Most years have none
Coldest night1 °C, −1 °C in a hard winter
Frost pocket riskLow
Higher than55% of nearby ground

On still, clear nights cold air flows downhill and collects in low ground, where frost is then more likely. At this plot: air drains away from the plot. The nights and dates are worked out from 30 years of daily temperatures for the area, adjusted for the plot's height and for whether it sits in a dip or on a rise. Frost means the air falling below 0 °C.

Night sky Some glow

There is real light in this sky: the brighter stars stand out but the Milky Way is hard to find, with most of the glow coming from the SW

Sky brightness20.33 mag/arcsec²
Artificial light2.21 times the natural sky
Brightest glowsouth-west

Modelled from satellite images of the light emitted within 100 km, for a clear moonless night. It is an estimate, not a measurement. Comparisons between locations are more reliable than the figure itself. Cloud, moonlight and new lighting nearby all change what you see.

Air quality Clean

Fine-particle levels are clean by European standards, cleaner than 6% of Spain

Fine particles8.8 µg/m³    1.76x the WHO guideline    cleaner than 6% of Spain
Coarse particles17.3 µg/m³    1.15x the WHO guideline    cleaner than 5% of Spain

Summer ozone92.9 µg/m³    1.55x the WHO guideline    cleaner than 45% of Spain

Modelled on a 10 km grid, so values describe the area rather than this plot. Local sources such as a nearby road, a quarry or wood stoves are not captured. Figures are for one year and vary with the weather.

Climate in 2050 0 → 0 frost nights

By the 2050s, about 22 more days above 30 °C and about 9 days longer at its driest, if emissions are curbed

Hardiness zone10a now    10b to 10b by the 2050s
Periods1991 to 2020, and 2036 to 2065

The 2050 figures are scenarios, not forecasts. They show what happens if emissions follow each path. Today's temperatures are worked out for this plot and the change by 2050 is the models' change for the 25 km square around it. Rainfall and dry spells describe that square rather than the plot.

Risks

Flooding Not reached

No mapped river flood reaches this point. The nearest floodplain is about 3.1 km away.

Dykes and drainage are not included. Flood defences such as dykes, embankments and drainage are not in this model, so land they protect is still shown as flooded. Covers flooding from larger rivers only (those draining more than about 150 km²). Flooding from heavy rain, small streams and the sea is not included. Where no flood is shown, the area may not have been modelled. It does not mean there is no flood risk.

Catalonia grades landslide, rockfall and debris-flow hazard as low, medium or high on 63 map sheets, mostly in the Pyrenees. Elsewhere in Spain there is only a national record of past ground movements. A zone is a class of hazard. It is not the chance of a landslide in a given year.

Quantity, as the water authority rates itPoor

A guide for a well driller. Water can stand at a different depth on your plot, or not be there at all. More is taken from the groundwater body here than it can stand. Ask the water authority whether a new well is allowed. Water levels come from the national monitoring network, which is read every month or two and stands on the main aquifers. The wells and springs counted near the plot come from the national inventory of water points, which holds no levels. The aquifer is the groundwater body the water authority reports, drawn at 1:250,000. Water can stand at a very different depth a few hundred metres away, or not be found at all. Permission to sink a well and to draw water is a matter for the authorities. Ask a well driller and the local water authority before you rely on this. Records as of 2026-10-16.

Vegetation

Also recorded growing within 10 kmoak, nettle

Modelled on a 10 km grid, so it describes the area rather than this plot. A birch or an olive grove nearby can raise the count at the plot. Based on 2024 to 2026. Hazel, alder, ash, oak, plane, cypress, nettle, pellitory and mugwort are not modelled. This report names those recorded growing within 10 km. That says nothing about how much of their pollen is in the air, and some places have few records, so a plant not named may still grow there.

What grows here No frost

Frost is rare here.

Without frostall year in a typical year
Growing season365 days a year

VegetablesNo frost to plan around
Fruit treesLate spring frosts are rare
GrapesHot summers for grapes
Olive treesNo frost hard enough to harm them in 30 years
Days without frostall year here, all year in the wider area
Height146 m here, 254 m in the wider area

We checked this method against 916 weather stations in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France. At half of them the last frost date was within 9 days of what the station recorded, and at 9 in 10 within 4 weeks. At half of them the coldest night was within about 2 °C. The slope, the sun on the plot, the soil, the water and the shelter of walls, hedges and trees are not included. Each of them changes what grows as much as the weather does. None of this says a plant will do well here.

Winter closure on the mapNone

Drive from the middle of the town to the nearest road to the plot, along the route the drive times use. Gradients are read from ground measured every 5 m and smoothed along the road, so a short ramp steeper than its surroundings may not show. Checked against road signs that state a gradient, the figure was within 3 points of the sign on about two roads in three. Bridges and tunnels are taken as straight between their ends. Some of a drive can have no gradient. That is road outside the ground measured every 5 m, and motorways and main roads whose ground is steeper than such a road is built, as under a bridge the map does not show or a road newer than the measurement. There the height chart shows the lie of the land from coarser height data. Time on a farm or forest track uses the speed cars were recorded driving on tracks with the same surface on the map. Surfaces and winter closures are as mapped. The map says what a road is made of, and says nothing of its condition, its width or potholes. Many roads carry no surface on the map at all, and a winter closure is only known where someone has mapped it.

Paths on the plot By lane

Reached by a lane    no path crosses the plot

Road or track to the plotLane

A way crosses the plot when it runs into the land-register boundary and out again somewhere else. A road or track reaches the plot when it comes within 10 m of the boundary. From the map. Rights of way are recorded in the land register's deeds, which are not public, so the map cannot say whether anyone has a right to use a path or whether the plot has a registered access. In some countries anyone may walk across open land, so a path is not always a right of way. The plot is the land-register plot the pin is in. A sale often includes the neighbouring plots too, so check those as well.
