The Sabor is a river in Portugal, how would you translate "Baixo Sabor"
My doubt is between keeping it just as it is, considering"Baixo" as part of the name or saying "Lower Sabor" as many rivers are divided into a 'upper' and 'lower' part. See Upper Nile, Lower Nile, for instance
Thanks in advance, and please vote as many people as possible to give a real "reading"

''Baixo Sabor'' / valley of the Sabor River
Hi Douglas I would keep it in it's original name, as it's the part where the river forms a type of valley. I personally think that translating the ''baixo'' could influence the meaning.
By the way weather up here is marvelous! Hot and sunny.
