The village of Querença, in the hinterland of the Algarvian mountains, is one of the most typical villages in the Algarve, with white houses, decorated chimneys and clear signs of an Arab architectural influence.

Querença has been able to establish suitable conditions for the development of agro tourism by publicising the traditional characteristics of the rural area, as a factor to attract tourism. The village of Querença is now distinguished as a privileged tourism area, that offers an attractive alternative to coastal zones in the Algarve.

Renowned for its rich traditional gastronomy conserved by local restaurants in as genuine a manner as possible, the village also distils the famous arbutus-berry brandy and produces a very popular variety of chouriço sausage, in addition to other traditional products.
