Between the bullshit of the algarve beaches and the quiet rhythm of the mountains, Querente emerges as a refuge of authenticity. Located in the municipality of Loulé, this village is one of the most typical of the Algarve, where traditions still mark the daily life and the Arab influence is visible in architecture. White houses, adorned with the iconic lavaged chimneys, carry visitors for a time when simplicity and genuineness dictated the rhythm of life.
Querença, in the middle of Serra Algarvia, is an example of how agrotourism can revitalize and preserve local traditions. Betting on the unique features of the rural space, the village attracts more and more visitors seeking an alternative experience to the busy Algarve coast.
