FIESTAS IN HONOR OF VIRGEN DEL CASTILLO IN CULLERA

Celebrations in Cullera begin on the Saturday April 14^th and include a wide range of activities and parades. ‘La bajada de la Virgen’ marks the beginning of the week long celebrations. The ‘Virgin de la Encarnación’ remains in the Sanctuary of Cullera Castle all year and only is only taken out once a year during this week long celebration. These famous celebrations attract many visitors who meet at the San Antonio beach to watch fisherman and sailors of Cullera parade the effigy along the shoreline. Many fishing boats come close to the shore and fire rockets as dawn breaks. This year the popular Night of the Aurora is celebrated on the evening of April 21^st and continues until dawn. Bars and restaurants in the town remain open until the parade at dawn. Throughout the week long celebrations residents are woken each morning at 8am by fireworks.
