Parking
As we mentioned before, the south car park is the fastest in terms of access, we leave you the prices here. Depending on the time, on Ribera del Seine street, from the Edinburgh roundabout, passing through the Luxembourg roundabout and ending at the Don Juan de Borbón monument; you can get lucky and park. I wish you luck.

What are you going to find?
exhibitors
From Cars&Cars to Santander Consumer Finance, there is a variety of more than 30 exhibitors, with an offer of more than 3,000 used vehicles. It will be rare that you do not find something you like. To go to the fair with your homework done, it is always important to know what you need to avoid getting lost in the middle of so many cars. Here we leave you our used vehicle search engine so that you can explore exhibitors and available vehicles.
tuning contest
If you are a fan of the curiosities content of our YouTube channel, of the brownest content of our TikTok and ultimately of all the content that Rubén creates (get well soon, friend) write down this info.
June 17 and 18, CMC Car Modified Contest. Tuning is not dead, it has been refined, it has evolved and proof of this is the modified vehicle contest that will take place this weekend. If you are passionate about this world, if you want advice or if you simply want to go take pictures, you have all the information on the Salón VO blog.
Exhibition of old vehicles
The Anglo-Saxon saying goes that “oldies but goldies” and nobody dislikes candy. I am left without sayings and I better tell you that during the entire fair (13 to 18) in pavilion 4 and by the hand of C. of Salamanca you will have a small sample of historical vehicles from the Jaguar – Land Rover group. If you want to see the models in question, we leave you the information here and if not, go without spoilers and discover them on your own.
Keys to survive a Fair
To close, let’s go with a series of tips from the team for your visit.
- Comfortable clothes and shoes. In short, you are going to walk and walk as long as your visit lasts. Many pace records are achieved at fairs.
- Water bottle, from home better. We all know that the “fair price” is not always the most competitive price.
- Locate and concentrate by pavilion. If you are interested in 4-5 specific exhibitors, write down the stand numbers and locate them on the map before entering. You avoid laps and long walks. If you want to break your step record, don’t; just walk.
- Cafeterias and rest areas. A technical stop never hurts to rest and recalculate the route.
- merchandising: Pens, bags, umbrellas, flower pots and other elements… Ask yourself the question, why do you want 10 more pens? Here I always remember the video of the IFEMA umbrellas, pure fantasy.
- information on paper: Now more than ever we live in the era of digitization, throw out emails and if you don’t want to be spammed, create a new, simple account where you collect all the information you have requested.
Little more to tell you, just wish you a happy fair to visitors and exhibitors. Tell us in the comments if you have a vehicle in mind and why not, what you come back with.
