What is acre a manzana?

A manzana is a Spanish measurement of land area, typically used in Latin America, and it is equal to approximately 1.43 acres. It is commonly used in land surveying, property assessment, and zoning in countries such as Mexico, Guatemala, and Colombia. It is derived from the Spanish word for apple, as historically land was often measured by the area of land that a horse could plow in a day, which was equivalent to the space needed to plant a certain number of apple trees. The manzana is divided into smaller units, such as varas, which are used to measure the sides of the land plot.
