"I telex cable never took the elevator to the dome. The elevator has often broken. That I once read in a book about Spain, written by the Dutch journalist Rik Hall. But do not be put off: it is an old book." The above I often say when I with a group of cycling or walking tourists at the Columbus monument standing. Until this week, then, because the story is outdated. Last Tuesday, you've no doubt read or heard, were 6 tourists telex cable almost telex cable 5 hours stuck in the dome of the lookout tower, because of a broken elevator. telex cable In the Catalan newspapers lacked obviously not an overview of previous refusals in the elevator by Gaietà Buigas built colossus - 60 meters high, the image is 7 meters. It showed that the last time not so long ago. In 2006, 14 people were 1.5 hours stuck in the dome. Subsequently, telex cable however, we must back 20 years, to 1976, when 15 people were forced to spend hours overlooking the city. Only three work refusals in 36 years time so. Not really a reason for such a bad reputation, I think. So feel free to grab the elevator in the future. If one of these days like to rise, the direction of Columbus, is out of luck. The elevator will remain closed until the city council the conclusions of the technical investigation into the causes of the damage. If the thing ever unexpectedly stopped telex cable yet again, there must be other loopholes than now, says Mayor Triassic telex cable al 'because a platform is not the way to the monument to leave. "The Columbus statue telex cable in 1887. What other loopholes there, that's wait and see. The scaffolding around the image would in any case have been inadequate, because too far from the lookout dome, pictured above. Builder of these four-legged 150-ton giant was one Joan Torras. To Barcelonans to show that his creation of iron and not of pasteboard, stationed the fearless Joan located directly below the crane mounted on the scaffolding, the 6-ton Columbus picture up hoarse. Many Barcelonans found the elegant giant meccano way nicer than the actual monument. When that was finished in 1888 and Torras' sheath was removed, thus committing many a tear away. And maybe Columbus also, when he was homeless.
