1000, Educa, Mapa del Estrecho de Gibraltar

This is a nice puzzle that very rarely appears outside of Spain. The complete title is Mapa del Estrecho de Gibraltar. The publisher is the Instituto Geográfico Nacional of Spain, or National Geographic Institute. This Institute is linked to the Spanish Ministry of Public Works and Transports (Ministerio de Obras Públicas y Transportes or MOPT), which later became the Ministerio de Fomento. Although it is not visible in the box, there is a very tiny statement that says that the manufacturer was Educa. In fact, the puzzle connoisseur would probably guess it by the design of the box. That means that the National Geographic Institute published the puzzle, but Educa actually produced it in their premises.

The puzzle is like NEW, with all the pieces SEALED inside the original plastic bag. The box is in very good condition.

Another puzzle by the Instituto Geográfico Nacional of Spain is the 1000 piece version of Mapa del Cielo en España.
