Skyscraper pays homage to Benidorm's fish and chip scabs - VIDEO

| | Comments (2) | TrackBacks (0)

In_tempo_benidorm.jpgConstruction is supposedly well underway on a fitting addition to Benidorm's garish skyscrapers and fish and chip shops.

In Tempo is a 200m, 52-storey tower costing £35m that will be finished by 2010 - just in time for economically-challenged Brits' return to the package holiday scene.

Its design shows two gilded towers that are joined by an inverted diamond where the poshest apartments will be located - no Thomas Cook special rates here.

And in a fitting tribute to Benidorm's fish and chip shops (and the scavengers that congregate by them), fake seagulls will be suspended between the towers.

The M shaped building, which also looks like an 11, is supposed to be a tribute to the victims of Madrid's train bombings on 11 March 2004.

A fountain would probably have been more suitable.
