A Glimpse of Goa
Goa has at least 30 beaches that are worth the trip. From the mayhem of Calangute to the Hippie influenced Anjuna and the peaceful palms of Paloleam, there is a beach for everyone’s taste. All beaches will open a new world to you which coupled with its incredibly hospitable local community makes Goa your home away from home.
Indeed it is its people that are the true essence of Goa. Staunchly catholic and passionate lovers of life, they strum their guitars and negotiate the narrow roads with a constant smile on their faces. One thing that they also love to do is party. Whether it’s a picturesque shack by the sea or the mesmerizing Club Cubana at the top of Goa’s hills, a party is not far away. What is also at hand are a number of tempting dishes cooked by the experienced local chefs. It is impossible to have a bad meal in Goa. But beware, the spice level is high. Whether it is the curries, vindaloo dishes or Sorpotel, be ready to set your mouth on fire.
What was really close to my heart was that Goa is truly a family-friendly place. My son explored most of this beautiful coast and was never tired. Every beach was a new adventure. Thanks to our visit to Palolem beach he embraced the beauty of bodysurfing and took advantage of the beautiful waves that hit the Goan shore every day. Together we saw the sunset and slowly heard the waves crash in the darkness of the night. In Goa, you are truly at one with nature. The convenience of Goa lies also in the fact that it is a three-hour direct flight from Sharjah making it also an ideal long weekend destination from the UAE. Goa is one of those places that manages to attract return visitors. With so much choice at our fingertips, this is no mean feat and with reason. I have been to Goa now at least eight times and counting.
