Abstract

Peri-urban areas of cities in Al-Andalus was a very diverse rural habitat. Aristocratic property was present in these environments and has received little attention. Indeed, we know very little about the elites of Al-Andalus in comparison to those of other western medieval countries. In this study we have examined the hinterland of the city of Granada during the Naṣrid era (XIV-XV centuries), paying special attention to two features of the distribution of its population: alquerías (villages), settlements of the rural community par excellence, and almunias or aristocatic estates.
