Sabor river, Protected river region in Bragança District, Portugal and Zamora Province, Spain.

The Sabor River stretches across northeastern Portugal and Spain, flowing through deep valleys and forming a natural corridor between both countries.

The river served as a vital water source for local settlements since ancient times, supporting agricultural development and transportation routes across the region.

Local communities along the Sabor River maintain traditional fishing practices and agricultural methods that reflect centuries of adaptation to the river environment.

The river basin extends over 3,170 square kilometers and connects to the Douro River near Torre de Moncorvo, downstream from the Pocinho Dam.

The Baixo Sabor Dam, constructed in 2016, transformed sections of the river into large lakes, altering the natural landscape and creating new water bodies.
