Balaguer was one of the most important names for understanding Dianense society and the Marina Alta during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Leave behind endless research that has helped us to understand ourselves a little more, among which the publication of the books stands out: Xiquets dels anys difficult. From the Republic to Francoism, Dénia to the postwar period. Vivències i documents y Popular personatges.

In addition to devoting his life to the study of our history, he was also interested in politics and the press, collaborating with the Canfali for decades. He was also a regular at the cultural events that took place in the area, which records his last appearance in public during the Flexió Verbal that took place a few weeks ago.

Now we regret the loss of 2007 being named Dénia's favorite son. The coffin will be exhibited at the Dénia Tanatorio, tomorrow Thursday, from 16 to 19 hours.
