EVENING OUT:
1. Wednesday - Siolim Market:
To get the real local flavor of Goa, visit the weekly haat in your neighborhood and pick up dried red chilies, kokum and other produce directly from the farmers. Each place has its haat on a different day of the week; so do enquire about the one
closest to you.
2. Saturday Night Market
One of the most unusual and successful ventures is the Saturday Night Market at Arpora, where vendors from all over India (including Goa) and from different parts of the world gather in a festive atmosphere and sell their wares. Live music
and food stalls complete the scene.
3. Scaramanga boats
Located at Coco beach, Nerul, the Scaramanga fleet consists of different boats including speedboats and catamarans, which you can rent for a sunset or a full moon cruise – or whatever your heart desires.
4. Fontainhas:
The Latin Quarter of Panjim is quaint, pretty and has a European feel to it. Walk around and see the lovely houses. Stop for a bite at Venite or to buy an azujelo from the Goa Velha shop.
5. Heritage houses:
If you would like to see what an old lived-in Portuguese mansion looks like, you can visit Solar Dos Colaco at Ribander or the Figueiredo Mansion in Loutolim. The grand living and dining rooms will transport you to another era – as will the food.
6. Goa Chitra:
For a deeper understanding of the ethnography of Goa, visit the newly established museum in Benaulim and see how our ancestors lived and the tools and equipment they used in their daily life.
7. Cabo de Rama Fort:
The ruins of a fort with spectacular views in the far south would be an ideal picnic spot if not for the monkeys. It is said that Rama stopped here after he was exile from Ayodhya. For something closer, with a beautiful view, climb up a slope for
about fifteen minutes to reach the ruins of the Chapora fort.
