Jaume Marxuach i Flaquer (Barcelona, 1906 - Calella, 1966) was an influential erudite Catalan lawyer and writer. He was related to the influential Flaquer Barraquer family and demonstrated since a young age a keen interest in the history of his native town. He collaborated with the magazine Recull de Blanes until 1933 when the prestigious weekly Cap-Aspre was created, a publication which always sought to promote Catalan nationalism. Jaume Marxuach left Calella in 1936 only to return three years later. In September 1956 he founded the newspaper Estela, a paper which is still in circulation. In addition to these activities, Marxuach was responsible for starting the secció excursionista (tourist bureau) of Calella, as well as the philatelic circle and the Museu Arxiu Muncipal (to house the municipal archives). In 1940 he revived the tradition of the Sardana, which had been lost during the Spanish Civil War.
