Cullera & Xàtiva Castles + Pirate Dragut Caves + Cullera Beach
Cullera
The history, the traditions, the rich historical heritage, the natural environment in which it is located and the incredible beaches make Cullera a perfect destination for all audiences.
Cullera Castle
The Castle that Jaume I could not conquer. On the top of the Cullera Mountain, the most emblematic historical monument in the region of the Jucar river, Cullera Castle is an impressive fortress built over the ruins of a Moorish castle.
Pirate Dragut Caves
The only cave of piracy in Spain.
On May 25, 1550, the pirate Dragut, attacked by surprise the city of Cullera, taking an important booty of goods and captives. The event caused great commotion in the Cullera of the time and the town was practically unpopulated for decades.
Playas de Cullera
15 kilometers of fine sand, which offers visitors all kinds of environments. Although all Cullera beaches are awesome but the top 2 are beaches of San Antonio and El Racó.
Xàtiva
Xàtiva Castle is not only one of the best fortresses of the Crown of Aragon, but also of the entire peninsula. It is located 300 meters above the sea level and it is considered a National Monument.
Despite its Iberian and Roman roots, most of the preserved walls and towers have Islamic or Gothic origin.
