Goa is typically known for its long stretched golden
beaches, swaying coconut palms and delicious seafood. This
Portuguese colony offers you a lilting dreamy atmosphere not
just because of its warm climate but for its feni, a locally
brewed drink made from cashew or coconut complemented with a
mando(love song) and the strains of guitar floating in the
coastal breeze overlapped with the rhythmic sound of waves.
The Mediterranean atmosphere is further accentuated with the
red-tiled huts of the fishermen, narrow streets and gentle
unspoiled people. It's easy to slip into the warm and easy
Goan ambience. Typically hybrid of the Latin influence and
Indian color, Goa boasts of an unique culture so well woven
in the Goan life style. Goa Tours will not only give you a
glimpse of an unique culture with its characteristic music
and dances but will help you unwind in its natural bounty
and languid atmosphere.
