Walk leisurely on the sun kissed
beaches, listen to the murmuring winds, watch the sun drawing patterns
in the sand through the shades of the trees, let the cool seas wash your
feet or simply lie back and enjoy the Goan drink- Feni.
The tiny piece of paradise- Goa,
lies in the West Coast of India and is spread over an area of 3,702 sq.
kms. With a coastline of 105 kms it is washed by the Arabian Sea. Goa's
outstanding attractions are its serene and scenic beauty, diverse
landscape- wide, sandy, palm - fringed beaches, clean waters, delicious
food and hospitable people with a rich cultural milieu.
Goan
culture is a confluence of many religions, faiths and traditions. People
from various religions live in absolute communal harmony and participate
wholeheartedly in the religious festivals of others. The Portuguese
invaders destroyed many temples and mosques. As a result most of the
temples are relatively new, though some date back to over 400 years.
There is no sea food like the Goan sea food. The shoreline stretched
over miles, numerous river streams and the ponds produce the most
amazing variety of fishes and other sea food. Delicious tiger prawns,
oysters, shellfish, and black river crabs are available in plenty. The
variety in fishes includes king fish, tuna, shark, rock fish and
sardines. You can never have enough of the delectable Squids,
cuttlefish, sea prawns, lobsters and mussels available here.
Donot miss out on the
fabulous Feni, an alcohol produced only in Goa from the coconut and
cashew tree. 
Goan churches are absolutely peaceful and beautiful. The Church
of St Francis of Assisi, with its gilded and carved woodwork,
murals and a floor made of grave stones, it is one of the most
interesting buildings of Goa. The Church of St Monica
is as old as the 17th century. Se Cathedral is the
largest church of Old Goa. Built for the Dominicans in 1562, it still
retains its old splendor.
