I walk down there every morning attempting to get rid of the fat I put on every day by eating at such places! :)

Yep there are several good restaurants and bars and the beach is excellent. Right now there are also bars on the beach until mid September

When you first get to the playa there is Les Canadienes (prob spelled wrong!) on the left which do an excellent del dia for 9 euros. Canadian / Spanish couple.

If you turn right at the beach and travel down to the square there is an excellent restaurant that does good fish but typically I cant remember the name. As you stand at the square looking inland from the beach its on your left hand side. If you walk down the pedestrian walk alongside the beach there, theres another good fish restaurant overlooking the sea.

cheers mitzy - sounds like its worth a detour to see the beach area.
if youre ever around cullera, theres a great spanish buffet on the beach front called, imaginatively 'buffet libre'. all freshly made and needless to say, bunged with the locals.
thanks again,
dd

We were in Cullera on Monday and it was an absolute nightmare to park. Normally we say that we will not go there in August and think that we should stick to it but I wanted lunch at my favourite Chinese Restaurant so we risked it.

If you like chinese, I believe a few of us might be going to one on Friday night ;)
You'll have to risk entering a town called Piles though :lol:
