THE APARTMENT
A spacious, recently modernised apartment, with two new bathrooms, ideal for a family holiday, for rent, in the bustling seaside town of Cullera.
Cullera is where the Spanish go on holiday so you will see a mixture of Spanish visitors to the town, with the affluent inhabitants of Madrid being in the majority.
The apartment is close to all bars, restaurants and shops, with the beach being only 400 meters away.
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 town 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 town of Cullera is located only 38 km to the south of the capital of Valencia. The urban nucleus extends in a semicircle around the slope of Monte de Oro, limiting its development with the left margin of the Xúquer river and the Mediterranean Sea.
Cullera is constituted mainly by an extensive plain, whose main prominencia is the mount of the Vixens with a level of 233 meters.
The vegetation characterises itself by the orchard, naranjos, rice fields, olive trees, carob trees and fruit trees. Its climate is dry with annual temperatures above to 17 Degrees C.
THE SURROUNDINGS
The beaches, the mountain, the Xúquer river, lEstany and the lagoon of Sant Llorenç, constitute the fundamental elements of the natural landscape of Cullera.
From north to the south, the main beaches are the following:
Mareny, at which an authorised nudist beach exists, Canopy, which is very well known for diving and sport fishing, the Racó, San Antonio, Jetty, Marenyet, lEstany and the Brosquil. Great LEstany is a natural lagoon.
It constitutes an authentic paradise for the cane fishermen, taking into account the amount and quality of the eels, carps or lubinas. The Xúquer river is a natural space where is the only fluvial port of all the Valencian Community. The Bassa de Sant Llorenç is a great pool located to the north of the dOr Muntanya.
