As every year around this time, our favorite road safety blog brings us a new compilation of the best automotive trade shows we can attend in the coming months. 2023 is just around the corner, and this new year brings hope in terms of events. For several months now, trade shows in Spain have been held without the COVID-19 restrictions that prevented events from taking place normally. This has especially affected those cases where seeing, touching, and feeling the products was essential, as is the case in the automotive world. Once again, we will have the opportunity to attend automotive trade shows in person, either to see cars we've always dreamed of (and models we never imagined could ever become reality) or to discover the latest developments in the automotive sector
firsthand . Furthermore, these automotive trade shows will also give us a firsthand look at upcoming road safety measures, especially the more technological ones we love
here and which
we've already discussed on occasion. All of this makes these trade shows essential places to visit in person. Therefore, we hope that in-person events will regain their full splendor in their new editions. But with so much on offer, which are the best automotive trade shows for me?
