Goa, India

(Goa Portfolio coming soon)

Overview

As a former Portuguese colony, until as late as 1961, the tiny state of Goa has managed to retain a different character to that of the rest of the India. Long beaches are interspersed with appealing villages and charming towns. It caters for all interests, with exciting activities to pursue for the more adventurous traveler. The capital, Panjim, is located roughly in the center of the state and is dotted with whitewashed churches and palm-lined plazas. Nearby in Old Goa is to be found the Basilica of Bom Jesus, final resting place of St. Francis Xavier, and well worthy of exploration.

Goa is also a hot spot for the Indian party set, with a dizzying choice of bars, restaurants and beach parties. Goans are Hispanic in nature, very friendly and full of extroverted fun. They almost revere their delicious cuisine, adore their wines and love their much-deserved afternoon siestas.

North and south Goa have totally different atmospheres. The northern resorts of Baga, Calangute and Anjuna offer a taste of the bohemian lifestyle, complete with weekly flea markets, while the southern shores of Varca and Colva offer peace and privacy in larger, resort style hotels.  Easily accessed from Bombay, Delhi and Bangalore, Goa can be the perfect beginning or end to a holiday that explores either northern or southern India.
