Geological resources in Portugal are unevenly distributed, being the most important areas in terms of production of ornamental region of Alentejo (Portalegre and Évora) and Tagus Valley and West.

On the other hand we still mineral waters and natural springs, an important resource whose production has been increasing. It is worth highlighting at this level the areas of the north and center.
In addition to the water we also have waters of high temperature, recovered in spas. We can find them all over the country although the largest concentration is in the north. In the map you can see the surface and underground water resources. http: //www. apgeo. pt/files/docs/CD_X_Coloquio_Iberico_Geografia/pdfs/089. pdf
In addition we still consider the biological resources with special incidence on the forest. Let us recall that Portugal is a major producer of cork.
We also have to consider the climatic resources. Because our country is a region with an exceptional climate, with strong resources for alternative energy production, either by the use of solar energy, or wind energy. The production of this one is concentrated all over the coast.
