Just beyond the top of the fruit market in Caldas da Rainha, opposite the "Cinco Bicas" fountain there is a place where you can connect to the internet free of charge, either by using one of the provided computers, or your own portable if you have a wireless system.
(moving to the "Camara" tourism offices near the post office on 1st August 2006).

The shop front has "Espaco Internet" (internet space) on the windows, and the service is provided by the Camara Municipal of Caldas da Rainha (Municipal Council of Caldas). I'm actually writing this message and posting it to the blog from a desk provided at this "Espaco Internet".

To use the service I simply had to give them my passport for the duration of my using the desk, and let them provide me with the IP numbers to enter into my system.

An excellent and free service which I availed of to work for several hours !

(please see the comments replying to this post for other internet services in the area)
