Abstract	This session looks at the conflicts in the maritime borders, specifically in the Castilian Atlantic territories in Late Middle Ages. Ruiz Pilares analyses the conflicts between fishermen and merchants in the Lower Andalusia, who in many cases came into conflict by their different economic interests. Ríos Toledano continues in the same area, studying piracy against the Castilian ports by Genovese and Catalonian sailors. González Zalacain explores the reality of the social contact after the Castilian conquest of the Canary Islands, approaching to conflictive interaction between the aboriginal population of the archipelago and the newly arrived European settlers. Furthermore, Melo da Silva explores the same topic on the Portuguese coast.
