Swimming Pools in Tormos

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, the project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are reading this, you likely understand the unique charm of living in the Marina Alta, specifically in the tranquil village of Tormos. With a small, welcoming population of around 339 residents, this area offers a peaceful alternative to the crowded coast, but our inland climate brings intense summer heat that makes having a private swimming pool in Tormos almost a necessity. Whether you are settled in the elevated plots of El Recingle or La Solana, enjoying the rustic views in Les Foies, or renovating a traditional townhouse in the Casco Urbano, my team and I are here to transform your outdoor space. We understand the local terrain, from the rocky slopes to the fertile terraces, ensuring your installation is structurally sound and aesthetically integrated. Regarding investment, in Tormos a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the dimensions, access difficulty, and chosen finishes. My goal is to ensure your project respects the local landscape while providing a refreshing sanctuary for your family.

Regulations and Permits in Tormos

Navigating the legal requirements for a swimming pool in Tormos requires an understanding of both regional Spanish standards and specific municipal ordinances. At TuExterior, we ensure that every project complies with the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which particularly governs the safety and performance requirements for external blinds and awnings often installed alongside pool terraces. However, the most critical step is adherence to the local PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) of Tormos.

For most residential pools, you will need to apply for a municipal building permit at the Ayuntamiento. If the project involves a standard prefabricated or liner pool without significant structural changes to the land, it may be classified as an 'Obra Menor' (Minor Work), which has a faster approval process and lower fees. However, if you are planning a large concrete 'obra' pool with extensive excavation or retaining walls—common in the sloped plots of El Recingle—the town hall will require a 'Licencia de Obra Mayor' (Major Work Licence). This requires a formal project signed by a registered architect or technical engineer. We assist our clients in gathering the necessary technical documentation to ensure the local authorities approve the project without unnecessary delays, ensuring your pool is 100% legal and registered in the Catastro.
