Fleca Torrent was a bakery — "fleca" is Catalan for bakery — operating in Foixà, a village in the Baix Empordà comarca of Girona with a population that barely reached three figures. During the early months of the Civil War, the collapse of small-denomination Republican coinage created acute shortages at the retail level, and businesses like this one issued their own paper scrip simply to make change. These notes, collectively called "moneda local" or "paper moneda," had no legal backing beyond the goodwill of the issuer and the necessity of the moment.
A bakery issuing its own currency is not unusual for 1936 Catalonia — hundreds of similar enterprises did the same — but Foixà's extreme smallness makes the Fleca Torrent emission one of the more local of all local issues.
