The river holds a significant meaning to our farm, for it is the river Al-Mansur that we are named after. Al-Mansur, meaning the invincible in Arabic, was the name of prominent historical figures, notably .

The river is not just a part of our landscape; it is an integral part of our lifestyle. In summer, it becomes our refuge from the intense Portuguese heat. When the days grow hot, the river becomes our place to swim, cool off, or simply spend long afternoons picnicking on the grass, or a nap on the hammocks that we have strung up. For those wishing to stay close to the nature, we offer camping tents and mats that you can setup along the banks.

Beyond its recreational gifts, the river also drives our greater ecosystem. It acts as the primary water source for a variety of natural resource that we harvest and use: namely river wood, bamboo, and nettles. Furthermore, the river is also vital for our livestock, serving as the primary drinking spot for our flock of sheep and horses as they graze around the property.
