Hi,

I live in Nazaré, but I go to Caldas da Rainha frequently, and I don't have that impression.

In fact, at the moment, with the festive season upon us, the streets are decorated and so are the shops. As you say, new shops are appearing with different concepts.

As far as the CCC is concerned, there's an for the first quarter of 2025, but I haven't had a chance to go there recently.

Regards

The CM does a really good job with all the Xmas lights and the huge tree in front of the court house. And the CCC does have a program. I was wondering about the many closed down shops and restaurants (private businesses).

Oh well, I'll have to find out more about that then, because I haven't noticed that at the end of the year. 😉

We like in nearby Foz do Arelho and visit Caldas frequently.

From what we observe, Caldas is developing and growing with new shops, restaurants and many new apartments and housing communities. Perhaps the closed shops you see are in the process of renovations etc.

I have friends in Caldas and they like the town very much

Thanks for letting me know. It seems nobody notices anything that would hint to a decline in business activity in Caldas. I noticed those many closed down shops and restaurants, but maybe the business activity is just moving to slightly different locations.
