ResumoOn several occasions, I have presented the results of my research on the characteristics and evolution of the qadiship of important cities in al-Andalus during the Almoravid period (e.g. Cordova, Seville, Valencia, Malaga, Granada) and I think that these issues have been sufficiently clarified. In the past I have also presented a few reflexions about the development of justice in Andalusi towns of little importance (i.e. “marginal” or “peripheral” towns) during the same period, such as Algeciras, Jaen, and Alcala la Real. Some of these results are published and others appear in brief. On this occasion, I have chosen the small town of Almunecar to check if the organisation of justice in this town in the Almoravid period was similar to that applied in most of the other towns of little importance or if it was different due to being near the capital, Granada. To this end, this contribution will attempt to address two primary points. On one hand, we present a brief study of information found on Almunecar in the Arabic sources, reviewing how it is presented. Above all, we follow the political evolution of the city and its role in the judicial and administrative changes which befell from the end of the Taifa period until the end of the Almoravid period. On the other hand, we analyse the formation of the qadiship of the town, with the purpose of studying possible changes in the Almoravid period
