Swimming Pools in Ricote

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to install a swimming pool in Ricote, you have come to the right place. Nestled in the heart of the stunning Valle de Ricote comarca, this town is one of the most authentic gems of the Murcia region. With a population of approximately 1,212 residents, Ricote offers a peaceful lifestyle that many English-speaking expats have come to adore. However, our inland climate can be quite intense; during the summer months, the heat trapped in the valley makes having a private oasis almost a necessity rather than a luxury. Whether you live in the historic Casco Antiguo, the tranquil area of La Bermeja, or have a villa in Cañada de Gil, Ainás, or Las Ventanas, we understand the specific geological and logistical challenges of the local terrain. Regarding investment, in Ricote a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the size, materials, and accessibility of your plot. My goal is to ensure your project blends perfectly with the traditional charm of the valley while providing modern relief from the sun.

Regulations and Permits in Ricote

Navigating the legal landscape for outdoor projects in Ricote requires a clear understanding of both regional and municipal laws. All our installations, particularly regarding sun protection and structures, adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, ensuring wind resistance and safety. When it comes to the actual construction of a swimming pool, the project is governed by the Plan General Municipal de Ordenación (PGMO), which was definitively approved in 2008. This local plan operates under the broader framework of the regional LOTUS (Ley de Ordenación Territorial y Urbanística de la Región de Murcia).

In Ricote, you must differentiate between 'Obra Menor' (minor works) and 'Obra Mayor' (major works). Generally, a new swimming pool requires a 'Licencia de Obra Mayor', which involves submitting a technical project signed by an architect to the Ayuntamiento. This is especially important in protected areas of the Valle de Ricote or the Casco Antiguo, where aesthetic integration is strictly monitored to preserve the town's heritage. We handle the technical documentation to ensure your project complies with the 2008 PGMO and all safety distances from neighbouring boundaries.
