Name of Shop: FLEA-STREET MARKETS

Where can you find a place that sells everything under the sun from Porcelain, candle work, Turkish hookahs,ancient artefacts, religious deities, Pashmina shawls, G strings, trance compact disc's, beads, Quartz and Calcite crystals, uncut gems, Sitars, Guitars and the list continues… You could also have a dreadlock haircut or learn some magic tricks. How about a quick course in juggling or clay pigeon shooting? For the more adventurous there is always the good ole art of body piercing, tattooing or maybe even a foot massage.

If this is making you wonder if all of this is too good to be true then think again. A place like this does exist. Known to most locals as the flea market and probably one of the best in Goa is 'Ingo's Saturday Nite Bazaar'. Those holidaying in Goa and not making the trip to this market in the village of Arpora in North Goa are missing out on an experience of a lifetime.

What To Buy: Shawls, lounge CDs, cheap beach wear and glassware

What To Pay: Bargain hard
