Default How to browse net while in Spain

Goin to Majorca in a few weeks and want to bring netbook along. Could anyone explain how to get the internet while there?

I'll only be there for two weeks so is there a reasonably priced "dongle" or something I can get?

The hotel we're in doesn't have internet availability

TIA

Hi mate,

When I go abroad I always get a local dongle, it can be much cheaper than in the uk. The last one I bought was egyptian and that was really cheap. I only paid £10.00 for the voda dongle plus £7.00 for 500mb. The only problem you may have is the operating software of your netbooks. If its a netbook that runs linux then you may have major issues installng the dongle. I stopped using my eee pc 7" and went for a 10" acer running xp and android, it was much easier to install the dongles.
