La Tomatina is a Spanish festival which is held in the Valencian town of Buñol, in the East of Spain 30 kilometres from the Mediterranean, in which participants throw tomatoes and get involved in a tomato fight purely for entertainment purposes
La Tomatina is a comical and detailed 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle which depicts a chaotic scene where you see the unexpected and where nothing goes according to plan. As with all of Van Haasteren’s illustrations, you are sure to find this puzzle extremely enjoyable while laughing at all of the individual illustrations.
This 1000-piece Jan van Haasteren jigsaw puzzle is an ideal starter puzzle or a nice addition to loyal JVH fans collections. Most of Jan’s fans will immediately search for his trademark – the shark’s fin – featured in every puzzle. But you can also look for Jan’s other favourites – Saint Nicholas, The Hands, The Dentures and a self-portrait of Jan – which can be seen in nearly all of his puzzles.

The puzzles are made of recycled cardboard and the linen-finish paper lends your puzzle a luxurious look.
