Cullera between beaches, rice fields and history

Cullera has 15 km of fine sandy beaches with calm, warm and shallow water. For planning your trip, the coast, culture and paths can be considered as separate areas of focus. Those who want to combine several interests can arrange the topics independently and give each one the desired weighting during their stay.

Coast

Playa Faro is a small cove with fine sand in Cullera’s Faro district. Coastal cliffs lie at either end of Playa Faro, making the area suitable for diving and scuba diving. Extensive beaches and a smaller cove thus represent different coastal forms, while the cliffs provide an explicitly mentioned focus for activities in the water.

Culture and history

Cullera Castle is a structure dating from the 10th century. The Museo de Historia y Arqueología de Cullera is located inside the castle’s Gothic chapel. Its collection comprises archaeological finds dating from prehistoric times to the present day.

The Museo del Arroz offers guided tours that present traditional rice cultivation in its original setting. The cultural attractions can be organised by subject and type of presentation, without requiring you to combine all the stops into a single day’s itinerary.

The Batería de Defensa Costera y Refugio Antiaéreo del Faro has adapted access points and paths at the viewpoint. Signage and safety features make visits there easier. When choosing cultural sites, you can therefore consider different focuses and ways of exploring them separately.

Paths and landscape

One route runs between orange groves and rice fields. A marked circular route starts at the Museo del Arroz. At L’Estany lake, a 1.9 km footpath runs along the water; from the lakeside path, you can reach a viewpoint. Another route follows the Júcar River as its common axis and is suitable for cycling and hiking.

The paths differ in terms of landscape, starting point, route type, length and activity. You can compare these features side by side when planning: the circular route has a marked starting point, the lakeside footpath has a specific length, and the Júcar route combines cycling and hiking. The landscape between the orange groves and rice fields also forms a distinct thematic focus.

For individual days, the paths can be considered according to their starting point and landscape: the marked circular route begins at the Museo del Arroz, the 1.9 km footpath with a viewpoint is located at L’Estany, and the Júcar route combines cycling and hiking. The details make the differences in starting point, length and activity directly comparable.
