About Cullera Market
Cullera Market operates Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM at Plaça de la Verge in the historic center. Built between 1899 and 1903 under architect Luís Ferreres, the market contains four pavilions arranged in a distinctive Greek cross formation.
The market specializes in fresh produce, seafood, meats, and local "Cullera" brand products including craft beers, rice, rice liqueurs, and sweet treats. Two pavilions house food vendors and restaurants, while the third hosts cultural events and the fourth contains the Municipal Auditorium for theater and music performances.
This modernist architecture represents one of the best remaining examples in the area following recent renovations. A central stone fountain with ducks and turtles serves as a popular gathering spot, particularly for families with children.
Reviewers consistently praise the market's cleanliness and quality vendors. The combination of fresh food shopping and cultural activities creates a unique municipal market experience.
Note that Cullera also hosts a separate weekly market every Thursday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, though this switches to Friday afternoons during summer months due to heat.
