The town of Cullera is located next to the Mediterranean, some 40 kilometres from Valencia. Cullera is a town that has eleven beaches and enjoys family tourism. Most of its visitors come from Valencia, towns near Cullera, Madrid and the north of Spain, although there are also international visitors, many of them from France.
In Cullera, which has a very extensive municipal area, the Cap Blanc urbanisation stands out, with villas of great quality and privacy.
I like the privacy and the possibility of buying a villa in Cap Blanc, but is this urbanisation too isolated?
The Cap Blanc urbanization harmoniously combines privacy with perfect communication both with the town of Cullera itself and with other nearby towns such as El Perelló, Sueca or the city of Valencia. Owners of a villa in Cap Blanc enjoy the tranquillity of a gated community as well as the ease of access to all the services they need in their day-to-day life. Moreover, Cullera has a train station, with several direct connections to Valencia on a daily basis.

The Cap Blanc development is located on a hill with magnificent views of the Mediterranean Sea, next to the beach from which it takes its name.

This urbanization is very close to the lighthouse of Cullera and the Hotel Sicania complex and the lighthouse beach itself. Due to its privileged situation, the location of the Cap Blanc urbanization is unbeatable.
