Sueca, Agricultural municipality in Ribera Baixa, Spain.
Description
Sueca is a municipality situated along the left bank of the Xuquer River in the Ribera Baixa region. The town covers roughly 92 square kilometers and sits just 3 meters above sea level in an extremely flat landscape.
History
The town came under Christian control in 1240 when King James I of Aragon took the region from Moorish rulers. This transition marked a significant shift in the area's governance and cultural development.
Culture
The buildings here feature Moorish architectural elements like flat roofs and horseshoe arches that define the local character. This style reflects the town's multicultural past and remains visible in structures throughout the municipality.
Practical
The entirely flat terrain makes exploration easy on foot or by bicycle throughout the town. Local tourist offices are available to help guide visitors through attractions and seasonal activities.

Ancient irrigation systems from the Moorish era still water the rice fields surrounding the area today. These centuries-old techniques remain essential to how local agriculture operates and defines the landscape.
