The
loveliest thing about Goa (and there are many lovely things) is the incredible
friendliness of the people. Everywhere you go you are greeted with a big smile
and a genuinely sincere wish for you to have a great time in their country. Goans
are immensely proud of their state, one of the most attractive in India, and they
are happy to tell you all about it.
But it’s not just the warm hospitality.
With its fascinating Portuguese heritage, superb cuisine and excellent sightseeing,
Goa has just about everything for the perfect holiday. In our opinion, there’s
little to compare with a late afternoon stroll along Baga beach, splashing about
in the warm Arabian Sea just as the sun is sinking over the horizon. Magic! The
beach here has several beach "shacks" (an Indian taverna) and, around
the resort, you’ll also find a wide selection of bars, restaurants, shops
and the odd nightspot.
The holiday wouldn’t be complete without a visit
to Anjuna, Goa’s fascinating beach market, or to Goa’s capital, Panjim,
a bustling town with a host of local shops, little markets and people just selling
things from their stalls on street corners. With all this and a superb year-round
climate, it is little wonder that Goa comes highly recommended. |
