Sueca is a city in eastern Spain in the autonomous community of Valencia. It is situated near the left bank of the River Xúquer. Sueca is separated from the Mediterranean Sea (11 km east) by the Serra de Cullera, though it possesses 7 km of Mediterranean coastline. Some of the architecture shows Moorish roots as in the flat roofs, view-turrets (miradors) and horseshoe arches, and the area has an irrigation system dating from Moorish times. Rice processing is the principal industry though oranges are also exported.
