Maurín was born in Bonansa, a place in the Catalan-speaking region of Franja in eastern Aragon, his parents were wealthy farmers. He studied with the aim of becoming a teacher and came into contact with republican and socialist ideas at university.

Maurín later left the CNT and became general secretary of the Bloque Obrero y Campesino (workers 'and peasants' bloc) and, from 1935, the POUM . In 1936 he was elected to the Spanish parliament. Maurín was captured during the Franco putsch, and in 1944 he was able to go into exile in the USA.
