Talk:Intempo

No elevators above 20th floor hoax?
Although making headlines in countless media of varying degree of respectability, I have seen very little credible evidence backing up the story about those forgotten elevators. The prime source that the more serious reports refer to is a July article in El País newspaper, available in English: Benidorm's prized high-rise tower becomes a symbol of incompetence. Following the international hype about supposedly lacking elevator access to the building's top 27 floors, some Spanish media are now also repeating those headlines, without any reference to any Spanish sources, without any statements by either owners, builders or architects. [On Twitter, the Intempo marketing folks say] those stories are wrong. In April, long before this summer story broke, some blogger reported about his visit to the construction site and how he took a ride on "one of three lifts in each tower" taking him up to the 45th floor http://devacacionesypuentes.com/2013/04/30/in-tempo-tocar-el-cielo-en-benidorm/ (including pics). I suspect this "skyscaper without elevator" is way too good to be true... Whether or not three high-tech elevators per tower are enough for a building this size is a different question and up for expert debate. Without much clearer signs of a real problem and without much better sources, the elevator story is not fit for an encyclopedic article. --Hvd69 (talk) 12:22, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Here's more evidence that the lack of elevator access is an urban legend:

I'm going to take the text out of the article.
