This story misses the point. It doesn't matter whether the building has lifts or not. The purpose of this exercise was NEVER to build something of use. The sole purpose was to line the pockets of corrupt politicians and corrupt developers with other people's money. It is just another stunning example of why Spain (with the rest of the EU close behind) is in the mess it is today.

See: Ciudad Real Airport – a massive white elephant – that sits abandoned in central Spain http://www.airportwatch.org.uk/?p=548

What's realy sad about Ciudad Real Airport is that to build it they had to bull-doze countless small farms, ruining much local agriculture and saddling the locals (who opposed the construction) with a massive debt as well.
