A touch of modernism
It is the leading example of modernism in Cullera and is rated among the finest modernist markets in the Comunitat Valenciana. More than a century on, it still does its job as the town's main market, where you buy fish straight from the quay, vegetables from the huerta and local produce.
For your visit
- Mornings are the best time to see it busy and full of life.
- Beneath its pavilions lies the Civil War Air-Raid Shelter, visited separately.
If you're planning what to do in Cullera in a morning, pairing the market with the shelter makes a neat plan.
