Forum Telenovela World - El Manantial
This is story of hatred between two families: the Valdes and the Ramirez. The evident reason for that is "El Manantial", a beautiful water bud that happens to bath the small property of the Valdes and not the neighboring rich and prosperous farm belonging to the Ramirez. But the true reason for such an intense hatred is hidden in private. Justo Ramirez, married to Margarita Insunza, has the relation with Francisca Rivero, the wife of their enemy and neighbor Rigoberto Valdes. This relation, founded on the deceit, will cause the gradual destruction of the two families. This will also affect the love of their children: the beautiful daughter of Valdes, Alfonsina and Alejandro, the only son and heir of Ramirez.
