Been here checking out this place, to purchase a property. It appears to be almost exclusively Spanish. I hear the very occasional French accent, but not heard a single English speaking person. Restaurant menus are in Spanish and no other languages.
I like a bit more cultural diversity than Cullera has to offer.

The whole area near the small hill on the point with lots of towers and a few private houses is almost deserted. Looks like come September, the more touristy part of the town turns into a near ghost town. Was in the town centre tonight and there are some restaurants open.

Notwithstanding, ate in the hotel last night as it was rather awful outside.

Overall conclusion is that Cullera is too quiet off season, so very unlikely to buy a property here.

Id be more worried about the river flooding than it being quiet, although from what I have read and from those I know who have been there you are right.
Its a ghost town over the winter, which is strange as its not that far from valencia City and in the other direction there is Javea and then Denia.
We go to Denia on a regular basis and its fairly busy all through the year, ok it has a massive shopping centre on the outskirts but the town is never deserted.

Ive been checking out the Mar Menor for the past year or so and we habe found the town of Los Alcarzares gets quiet in the winter, but that suits us to be honest.
Although last week when we were there the lad in the bar asked me to speak in english because he didnt understand what I ordered in my bad spanish.
When I asked he said he only understood English and Polish and a few other eastern European languages and in the strip there nobody spoke spanish.
We have moved our house search to the old town and south because of that.
