I've done most of these corrections, except where the skyscrapercenter.com height info conflicted with the emporis.com info I used the latter source. If you object to any of this, you can let me know, but you'd have to explain to me why I should trust skyscrapercenter over emporis.com.

Thank you for the work you have done, LMich. Regarding to the Emporis/SkyscraperCenter conflicts, I generally consider the SkyscraperCenter more reliable as it is an official organization about skyscrapers and Emporis is very often outdated. For example, Torre Cepsa's (http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=13514) actual height is 248,3 m according to the most accurate measurements, as can be seen in http://gruporesa.com/torre-cepsa/, http://www.abc.es/local-madrid/20130729/abci-torre-cristal-techo-espana-201307281803.html, and in the SkyscraperCenter entry http://www.skyscrapercenter.com/building/torre-cepsa/878. I am not so sure about the other conflicts, but I would trust more SkyscraperCenter than Emporis.

I have changed the height of Torre Cepsa, since you provided corroborating sources.

OK. The name of BBVA Headquarters (http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=82034) should also be changed to La Vela, since this is now its official name (chosen by votation of BBVA's employees). Sources: https://www.bbva.com/es/la-vela-nuevo-simbolo-arquitectonico-de-bbva-en-madrid/, http://www.elmundo.es/madrid/2015/04/12/552a9b0be2704ebe2c8b456b.html, http://www.lavanguardia.com/local/madrid/20130509/54373339044/los-empleados-de-bbva-bautizan-como-la-vela-a-la-nueva-sede-de-la-entidad-financiera-en-las-tablas.html. (La Vela is the name of the main tower, the whole complex is called Ciudad BBVA)

Castellana 81's height should be changed as it appears a bit incongruent in the diagrams. Emporis (https://www.emporis.com/buildings/111990/banco-de-bilbao-madrid-spain) gives 104.7 m for roof height and 108.4 m for architectural (spire) height (including the parapet on the roof).

And this is it. The rest of Emporis/SkyscraperCenter conflicts are mostly about the floor count, and it's difficult to provide additional sources to show which one is right, so for me it's OK. Thank you again for your patience with these corrections. :)
