We are thinking of driving to Lisbon airport around April 10 from Lagos via the n120. First, is there some nice scenery and maybe wildflowers? Second, would Vila Nova be a good spot for lunch and maybe a quick walk break?

I think Vila Nova de Milfontes sounds a good place to stop. it's about half way. I have never been there but people I know who have say it is a very pleasant little place.

maybe wildflowers? If it's a normal spring, yes, wild flowers will be already blooming.
Second, would Vila Nova be a good spot for lunch - for lunch, yes you have several restaurants in town. For a walk it depends, if all you want is a stretch of legs, yes.
Great! Good to hear about the wildflowers. Lovely interior scenery, birds and little towns are great. We would be looking for a short walk. Any place special to eat lunch in Vila Nova or another town on the way? Good local food sounds great.
