Elevador dos Penedos Da Índia

The elevator is always "broken", vandalized, dirty, filthy. A freak in the village of Sines.

The elevator is there, I saw it ... apparently new, almost glowing as if it had been unpacked yesterday ... but it works, that's another story. It irritates, it irritates especially those who have reduced mobility and passes on the street one day and boasts the vision of those who create such equipment with direct and easy access from the center of the village to the beach and the next day when they prepare to use it they discover that it is closed and not a shadow of explanation ... It is true, I am a tourist, I will only use it once but in a land that surprised me in everything else, it made me angry.

This work arose to respond to an evident need to connect the upper part of the city to the maritime area of ​​Sines, particularly for the elderly and other people with reduced or conditioned mobility. Regrettably, it has always been involved in controversy due to different opinions between promoters and defenders and their detractors, it has proved to be a little useful piece as it is rarely in operation due to vandalism or maintenance problems. When it works, it is useful and interesting to make the ascent with the perspective of distance from the bay as you go up.
