The owners of Gelateria El Faro inside the shop

Faro de Cullera

A small Mediterranean ritual: ice cream, slushies and time by the sea.

What we make, every day

We work with passion every day to bring you the highest-quality artisan products:

  • Artisan ice cream made the traditional way, with flavors that rotate by season.
  • Slushies, classic and premium, refreshing and full of flavour according to availability.
  • Valencian fartons, sold individually or in packs, perfect with coffee, a slushie or ice cream.
  • Fresh-made waffles: plain or with sweet creams.

Our must-have: artisan ice cream by the lighthouse

From 6 to 8 pm we have something special for those who know how an afternoon snack should be done. Our signature item, available only at this hour: a warm croissant, filled with the artisan ice cream flavour of your choice — simply irresistible.

The lighthouse and the district it named

The Cullera Lighthouse has guided ships along the Costa del Azahar for over a century. The whole coastal neighbourhood — Faro de Cullera — takes its name from it. It stretches south of central Cullera, between the sea and the cape. The quietest beaches, the best sunset viewpoints, and us, are all here.

A small project, open to everyone

Gelateria El Faro is a small project run by women, open to everyone. The space is wheelchair accessible, we're LGBTQ+ friendly, and well-behaved dogs are welcome on the terrace.
