The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of Goa is lying on the beach with Goan Sausages and Fenny. The place to relax chill out or even to party all night long. Goa, a former Portuguese enclave is a prominent place to travel. The allure of Goa is that it remains quite distinct from the rest of India and is small enough to be grasped and explored in a way that other Indian states are not. The region's easygoing ambience, good food, and salubrious winter climate have made it one of the most popular spots in South Asia.

Goa is famous for its white sand beaches, mesmeric sunsets, and for people of Goa for their tolerant behavior and finesse in etiquette's. It is also famous for its scenic beauty and the architectural splendours in its temples and churches. There is every kind of accommodation to suit all budgets varying from standard to deluxe near sea beaches. There are mid-range and economy hotels that provide good services and peaceful environment. Where else can you spend 2 hours over breakfast and not think twice about it? What other country is so easily accessible, so cheap and yet so beautiful, and where else are the locals like good friends you've yet to acquaint? There is no doubt about it, you will be hooked on Goa and would dream of returning again and again. In winter in this idyllic setting, you will enjoy almost unbroken sunshine, with an average in the eighties. It has 120 kilometres of coastline and boasts in general the most modern, international-style hotels and the best beaches.

Goan cooking is famous throughout the world. It is Indo-Portuguese cooking at its best, it combines the spices of India with the subtle blending and flavours of Portugal. epitomising Goa’s rich Portuguese heritage. Goan chefs are noted for their gastronomic talents Goan Sausages are my weakness and I carry it with me wherever I go so that I can be reminded about my hometown. Guess I'll have to cook a batch of Goan Sausages again today.

North Goa beyond the north of River Mandovi with a long stretch of Beaches namely :
Betim, Reis Magos, Sinquerim, Candolim, Calangute, Baga, Anjuna, Vagator, Chapora,Siolim, Chopdem, Morgim, Mandarem, Asvem, Arambol, Querim, and Terekol. Not forgetting Nerul Beach (Coco Beach) the place where I come from. It is just after Reis Magos and before Fort Aguada. In my opinion its one of the most picturesque beaches if not the cleanest. The water s a bit muddy and lots of fish lying around as basically it is a small fishing village.

South Goa is predominantly virgin countryside. The beaches of South Goa are fantastic. Most of the beaches are isolated from anything that might disturb the peace, all you have to do here is enjoy the beaches, wonderful food and hospitality of the locals.
The long stretch of beaches are Miramar, Dona Paula, Vainguinim, Bambolim, Vasco da Gama, Bogmalo, Velsao, Cansaulim, Arrosim, Utorda, Majorda, Betalbatim, Colva, Benaulim, Varca, Cavelossim, Mobor, Betul, Cabo Da Rama, Agonda, Palolem, Galjibag & Polem.

Cavelossim and Mobor beach have the best hotels and is one of my favurite places to visit down south.
