Cullera on the Costa del Azahar

The Castle at Cullera is from the middle ages and the Sanctuary of our Lady of the Castle is on the highest point of the mountain, offering a spectacular view over the surrounding district.  You can park your car in a small car park at the top by the church. Since this is the only highpoint for many kilometres around, it was a strategic position for safeguarding the territory in days gone by

Castle and Sanctuary at Cullera Valencia Spain

Cullera is a typical Spanish holiday resort with an influx of visitors from Valencia and the provinces especially at the weekends. There is a good quality half moon beach with bars and cafes selling tapas and meals. Visit the AQUÓPOLIS CULLERA (AQUASOL), a water park with attractions to suit all the family: the Niagara , the ‘black hole’ water slide, Himalayan descent, gentle water slides, kamikaze water slides and the lake of adventure.

Situated to the south of Valencia , separated from the waters of the Mediterranean by a chain of dunes and pine groves, the lake of La Albufera was formed in the distant past from the deposit of sediments from the Rivers Turia an Jucar , which hemmed in this small inland sea of fresh water. The area is famous for its rice fields which of course are an ingredient for the famous Paella.
