Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Over the years, I have seen how the stunning landscape of the Marina Alta transforms, and few places capture the authentic spirit of inland Alicante like this valley. If you are looking to install a swimming pool in Vall de Gallinera, you are likely seeking a private oasis to escape the intense summer heat that characterises our Mediterranean inland climate. With a population of approximately 584 residents spread across the charming "eight villages," we specialise in bringing modern comfort to traditional settings. Whether your property is a rustic townhouse in Benialí or Alpatró, or a villa with views in Benissivà, Benirrama, or Benissili, we understand the logistical nuances of working in these narrow, winding streets. Integrating a pool into this rugged terrain requires local expertise and a deep respect for the cherry-blossom heritage of the area. In Vall de Gallinera a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the slope of your plot and the specific materials chosen to match the local stone aesthetics.

Regulations and Permits in Vall de Gallinera

Navigating the legal landscape for home improvements in the Marina Alta can be complex for English-speaking residents. At TuExterior, we ensure that every installation complies with the relevant national and local standards. For any shading structures or pool enclosures, we strictly follow the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which dictates the safety and performance requirements for external blinds and awnings.

Regarding the pool itself, the primary regulatory framework is the PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) of Vall de Gallinera. Because this area is often protected due to its landscape value, permit requirements are strict. Generally, a "Licencia de Obra Mayor" (Major Works Permit) is required for any in-ground swimming pool. This involves submitting a technical project signed by an architect to the Ayuntamiento (Town Hall). If you are simply renovating an existing pool or installing a removable structure, it might fall under "Obra Menor" (Minor Works), which is a simpler notification process. We assist our clients in understanding these municipal ordinances to ensure your investment is fully legal and won't face future fines or demolition orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Vall de Gallinera?
The cost generally ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. This variation depends heavily on the type of pool—be it prefabricated polyester, steel-walled, or reinforced concrete—and the difficulty of accessing your property. In villages like Benialí, narrow streets might require smaller machinery, which can slightly influence the labour costs. We always provide a fixed quote after a site visit to avoid any hidden surprises.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, for a permanent in-ground pool in Vall de Gallinera, you must obtain a Major Works Permit from the local town hall. This process requires a technical project. While the bureaucracy in small inland municipalities can sometimes feel slow, it is essential for the legality of your home. We can put you in touch with local architects who are familiar with the specific requirements of the Marina Alta administration.
How long does it take?
A standard installation typically takes between 2 to 5 weeks once the permits are granted. The excavation phase in the valley can sometimes be unpredictable due to the rocky nature of the terrain. However, once the hole is prepared, the assembly and filtration installation move very quickly. We aim to have you swimming well before the peak July heat.
Do you cover Vall de Gallinera?
Absolutely. We cover all eight villages of the valley: Benirrama, Benialí, Benissivà, Benitaia, La Carroja, Alpatró, Llombai, and Benissili. Our teams are accustomed to the inland roads of the Marina Alta and we regularly work with international residents who have chosen this peaceful area for their primary or secondary residences.
What warranty do you provide?
We provide a comprehensive warranty that covers both the structural integrity of the pool shell and the mechanical components like pumps and filters. Typically, our structures carry a 10-year warranty against leaks, while the technical equipment follows the standard manufacturer warranties. As local operators, we are always available for after-sales support and maintenance advice.
Can you install pools on sloping plots?
Yes, this is one of our specialties. Many properties in the Vall de Gallinera are built on terraces. We use reinforced retaining walls and specific engineering techniques to ensure the pool is stable. This often allows us to create beautiful "infinity" effects that take full advantage of the valley views, though it does require a more detailed technical study.
What maintenance is required for the Mediterranean climate?
Given the high temperatures and the presence of agricultural dust in the valley, we recommend high-quality filtration systems and salt-water chlorination. Salt systems are gentler on the skin and eyes and are easier to manage during the hot summer months. We also suggest pool covers to prevent evaporation and keep the water clean from the local flora during the blossom season.
