Very close to Valencia we will spend a day in the mountains and on the beach, visiting the well-known city of Cullera. It is one of the favorite tourist destinations in Valencia and you will discover why ... ;-)
Do you prefer the mountains or the beach?
In Cullera you will have both, the mountain by the sea that we will be able to travel on a beautiful route without much difficulty, with views of the sea, the Albufera and the city of Cullera.
Before the route we will take a short walk through the old part of the city from where we will go up to the Castle and the Sanctuary of the Virgin through the winding path that reproduces the "Camino del Calvario" or "Via Crucis".
Once there and after enjoying the viewpoints and walking along its walls, we will enter the mountain and travel its entire crest until we reach the Cullera Lighthouse.
The city has an enviable cultural heritage, the Cullera Castle and the Sanctuary of the Virgen del Castillo, the Torre de Santa Ana or Torre de la Reina, the Hermitage of the Virgen del Carmen or the Parish Church of the Santos Juanes, has a large number of monuments of great cultural interest that cannot be missed.
The first thing that surprises the traveler when arriving in Cullera is undoubtedly its fantastic castle rising above the city. A beautiful military architectural complex of Muslim origin that is located at the top of the mountain of the foxes, controlling the entire valley and the entire Bay. From its viewpoint there are fantastic views of the city to the mouth of the Júcar river and the entire Bay. Strolling through its walls and visiting its most emblematic rooms will make our imagination fly and put ourselves in the shoes of those who lived, fought and died within these walls.
After the beautiful route we will have free time to enjoy the sun and the beach, or visit the "Cave of the Pirate Dragut".
It will be a very complete day in which in addition to doing sports you will see many interesting things, take spectacular photos and above all make many new friends.
