The northern part of Portugal's mainland is montanious with rivers flowing through the landscape. In the central part of Portugal, near Lisbon and around the river Tejo, there are rice fields and gardens. South of Lisbon, in the area known as Alentejo, there are cork trees, olive plantations, wheat fields and sheep farms. The southernmost part of mainland Portugal, the Algarve, has long, white beaches, and is a popular tourist destination. The landscape of Madeira is rugged and lush. The nine islands making up the Azores are hilly and lush, with a volcanic landscape.
