From a birds eye view, Cullera reveals itself as an arc formation that embraces the Mediterranean, whilst extending to what is known as the ‘Montaña de Cullera’ (Cullera Mountain) or the ‘Sierra de las Zorras’ (The Sierra of the Foxes). Located on the left bank of the river Júcar, this cosmopolitan population has some enviable beaches and an exceptional natural environment with a large fresh-water lagoon, the ‘Albufera nature reserve’. The wealth of landscape is completed by a variety of crops, which change the colour of the countryside with each season of the year.
The natural environment of the population has its beaches as protagonist. Nevertheless, the mountains, the river Xúquer, the lEstany and the Sant Llorenç lagoon are also enclaves of great interest for visitors that look, for example, for a days fishing or a natural space to explore, with the only fluvial port in the whole Valencian Community.
The foothills of the Sierra de Las Zorras (or Rabosses), upon which the lighthouse perches, and the estuary of the river Júcar divide the Cullera coastline into three different sections.
To the north of the lighthouse lies a peaceful beach almost 2 km long where one can swim vurtually alone. In addition, three different inlets - Faro, Olivos and Cap Blanc - are a paradise for windsurf enthusiasts.
The enormous Bahía de los Naranjos bay stretches towards the south, sheltering the popular beaches of Racó, Santa Marta and San Antonio. Besides having full facilities, the beaches at Cullera also have summer activities such as windsurf or paddleboat rental to get out to the Peña del Moro, an ideal spot for diving.
The beaches beyond the river estuary are calmer and more unspoilt, with the advantage of many restaurants serving rice and fish specialities next to the Estany, a picturesque fresh water lake.
If you have children, defenitly 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.
The autochthonous Valencian cuisine has an important exponent in Cullera. To the variety of rice dishes that compose its culinary offering, from among which must be emphasised the seafood and vegetable paella, must be added the "all-i-pebre" and a variety of fish stews. In any of the restaurants in the Estany area, the "llisa" is one of the most typical fish to be served.
