After inflicting a new defeat on the Banu Ghaniya, he set off for the [[Iberian Peninsula]] to avenge his father's death. His 13 July 1190 [[siege of [[Tomar]], center of the [[Order of Christ (Portugal)\|Portuguese Templars]], failed to capture the fortress. However, further south he in 1191 recaptured a major fortress, [[Paderne Castle]] and the surrounding territory near Albufeira, in the [[Algarve]] – which had been controlled by the [[Portuguese people\|Portuguese]] army of [[Sancho I of Portugal\|King Sancho I]] since 1182. Having inflicted other defeats on the Christians and captured major cities, he returned to the Maghreb with three thousand Christian captives. Upon Al-Mansur's return to Africa, however, Christians in [[Iberian Peninsula]] resumed the offensive, capturing many of the Moorish cities, including [[Silves Municipality, Portugal\|Silves]], [[Vera, Almería\|Vera]], and [[Beja, Portugal\|Beja]].
