Goa
Super Sands
So beautiful they're almost a cliché, Goa's beaches have undeniably been discovered, but
with the surf breaking over your toes and palm fronds swaying overhead, it doesn't seem to
matter.
Colonial Cookpot
Goa has fresh-off-the-boat seafood and cooks who blend cooking tricks and ingredients
from India and Portugal to create a fabulous interplay of flavours.
A Catholic Legacy
When the Portuguese decamped from Goa in 1961, they left behind a grand colonial leg-
acy: mansions in Quepem and Chandor, shop-houses in Panaji (Panjim), stately basilicas in
Old Goa and villas scattered along the coastline.
