What people ask for in Garrucha
Garrucha has 10,823 residents in just 7.76 km², according to the Andalusian statistics institute (Instituto de Estadística y Cartografía de Andalucía) for 2025. It is a small, dense municipality with a single urban centre. The most common briefs are flat renovations, energy performance certificates (EPC) to sell or let, and changes of use from commercial premises to a home.
The port of Garrucha is a fishing, leisure and commercial port, managed by the Agencia Pública de Puertos de Andalucía (the Andalusian public ports agency). To open a business, a shop of up to 750 m² does not need a prior licence (Ley 12/2012). Bars and restaurants usually need an environmental qualification (calificación ambiental) as well (Ley 7/2007).
On the seafront, the marine environment damages balconies, railings and façades. Many communities of owners need a technical report and a phased repair plan before asking for building quotes. Almost 30% of the population register is foreign (3,210 people in 2025), and we also work in English.

Questions about Garrucha
Which works can I carry out in Garrucha with a responsible declaration (declaración responsable)?
Renovations of existing buildings on urban land that do not change plot coverage, height, buildable area or the number of homes (art. 138 of Andalusia's planning act, Ley 7/2021 (LISTA)). For works that need a design, the Garrucha town hall form asks for technical documentation signed by a qualified technician.
Can I convert commercial premises into a home in Garrucha?
It depends on the planning rules for that street and on whether the premises can meet the conditions for a home. Because it adds a new home, it needs a licence, and a responsible declaration is not enough (art. 138 LISTA). The change of use design costs from €1,600 + VAT.
How much does an energy performance certificate cost in Garrucha?
From €65 + VAT. We visit the flat within 48 to 72 hours and deliver the certificate in two or three working days. It is valid for 10 years, or 5 if the rating is G.
