Naturalists will doubtless be intrigued by the internationally renowned local collections of pomegranate, fig, olive, and especially almond trees that literally blanket the ground with blossoms during the spring. There is a beautiful harbor, an idyllic lagoon, fishing villages, and a special brand of local cuisine based off of the maritime lifestyle. The Algarve, another popular location for vacation rentals, is geographically separated from the rest of Rocket Spanish by a picturesque mountain range, but more than makes up for its isolation with its own special appeal and allure. The old medieval section of the town has undeniable charm for history buffs, and there are many beaches and seaside resorts within easy driving distance of Lisbon.
