5. The major players of the design industry call Valencia " The Milan of the Western Mediterranean". The economic crisis the last 10 years costed the city some of its capital force on the exhibitional sector, but still events like the See You in Valencia program liaises the design-oriented visitor with some of Spain's most important factories and also present an ambitious, international list of contributors. The attractiveness of the country's huge design heritage combined with an non-underestimated industrial force, place SYIV to a high competitive level, offering some innovative lectures, workshops, trade fairs, happenings etc. In the end of February (20-24/2/2017)- check full list of the activities:
