 Goa Beaches - Goa
has got a glorious history richly preserved in churches, forts,
traditional homes, villages and its cities. From miles and
miles of sunny beaches, to the splendors of its quaint cities,
towns and cobbled alleyways, Goa is more than just beaches
and sunshine. It's also the charm and magic of toxic resorts,
a verdant green countryside, lush green forests and abundant
wildlife topped with the legendary warmth and hospitality
of the Goan people.
Madgaon, south of Panjim, is the second largest town in Goa
and the chief commercial center. Madgaon is well connected
to south Goa's beach area. The distance to the beachfront
is a mere 10-15 minutes drive. The prime attraction of Madgaon
is the Benaulim Beach which lies 7 km west of Margao. People
visiting the Madgaon Beach also visit other places of interest
in Madgaon such as the Holy Spirit Church founded in 1565
and the distinctive cross in front built a century earlier.
One cannot miss the large rectangular 'Jorge Barreto' park
in front of the colonial-styled building with its arched corridors.
Other interesting places are 'Closed' Market called, in the
Portuguese language, "Mercado de Afonso de Albuquerque"
Anna Fonte (natural springs), the Hindu crematorium the Muslim
burial ground or 'Kabrasthan' both situated on Pajifond's
Rua de Saudades.
