Abo-Amir Muhammed Ben Abi Amer, better known as Al Mansur, was born in Torrox. Without becoming a caliph -just 'Hayib' (chamberlain)- he ruled Al Andalus from 981 until his death in 1002: he administered the state, reformed the armies, undertook more than 50 wars against the Christian kingdoms and won them all... and became&nbsp,one of the most mythical figures of Al Andalus. In Torrox you will find a bust in his memory.
