Thanks unai.
Good link.
I've been a fan of the towers for a long time, but have had trouble finding much info about the builder.
I'm not sure what appeals to me most about the towers. That they were considered an eyesore first, later a treasure? That they were built by one guy? That they were made from discarded, broken stuff?
Makes you wonder what other "garbage" in our lives has such potential.
