I only know of Almeria what i read about it

I live there  
It was known in Arabic times as al-mariyya (from whence Almería). It means something like "the tower of vigilance". It was originally a port for the more important mining centre of Pechina, but by 955 was its own Caliphate with the lovely fortress under construction.

Urci is considered nowadays to be near the modern city of El Ejido.
