Cullera, Coastal municipality in Ribera Baixa, Spain
Cullera is a coastal municipality in the Ribiera Baixa that extends along approximately 15 kilometers of Mediterranean shoreline. The area combines developed urban beaches with natural sandy stretches and the mouth of the Júcar River.
The town was taken by King James I of Aragon in 1240 following negotiations with Muslim ruler Zayyan ibn Mardanix. This peaceful transfer of control marked the shift from Muslim to Christian rule in the region.
The old town center and fishing districts reflect generations of connection to the sea, while local cuisine and markets continue traditions tied to rice farming and fishing heritage.
The municipality connects to Valencia via the coastal N-332 road, and trains stop at stations near the main beaches. Visitors can easily access both the shoreline and town center from these transport points.
A medieval castle sits atop San Antonio Mountain with defensive structures spanning different time periods and architectural approaches. This layering shows how successive rulers reinforced and modified the fortress over the centuries.
