Llavaneres — formally Sant Andreu de Llavaneres, a small coastal municipality north of Barcelona — issued local paper currency during the Spanish Civil War under the decree that authorized Catalan municipalities to produce emergency fractional money from 1936 onward. The national coinage supply had effectively collapsed, and towns of even modest size were printing their own scrip to keep local commerce moving.
The printer, C.A.M., was a Barcelona house that produced a notable volume of these municipal emissions, which accounts for a certain consistency of physical quality across otherwise unrelated issues. Turró catalogues this as #1333.
