Camí del Calvari
A cobbled Way of the Cross that starts behind the Municipal Market in the old Barri del Pou and climbs to the castle and the Virgin's sanctuary, lined by the oratories of the fourteen Stations of the Cross. The procession that opens the patron-saint festivities follows this path each year, and it offers fine panoramic views of the town on the way up.
The Camí del Calvari is a cobbled Way of the Cross that starts behind the Municipal Market, in the old Barri del Pou of Cullera, and climbs up to the castle and the Virgin's sanctuary.
The fourteen stations
The ascent is marked by the oratories of the fourteen Stations of the Cross, small chapels that punctuate the route. It is at once a devotional path and one of the prettiest ways to gain height in the town, leaving the houses of the old quarter behind.
Views and procession

On the way up, fine panoramas of the town and coast open out, so it's worth pausing to catch your breath and look back. At the top it connects with the sanctuary of the Virgen del Castillo.
