I had to look up the Torre Kio, as it seemed incredible that somebody would build such towers.
This is what I found in Spanish: es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerta_de_Europa
And a bit shorter in English: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_of_Europe

Thanks for that, Eva. I knew some but not all of that, especially not about the films shot there and the origin of the name KIO.

Wow those buildings are certainly eye catching. At first I thought they were bridges lifting up for a barge/ship to go under. I read about them and it's amazing that they have an inclination of 15 degrees. They are certainly lovely looking.
