Places of shopping in Goa - The
concept of Flea Markets in Goa was supposed to have been brought
by the hippies in late 1960s. Ever since then it has seen
expansion and growth. Flea Market in Goa is a paradise for
shopping lovers and smart bargainers. And if you are both
then its easy to buy exquisite Tibetan, Kashmiri and Gujarati
trinkets and handicrafts, jewelry (silver), European snacks,
wooden crafts and carvings, beautiful wall hangings, musical
instruments, bed covers, CDs with Goa Trance, artificial ornaments,
t-shirts and many others. As the list is very vast so it's
next to impossible to mention remaining items. However, it
can be said that amidst the hustle and bustle of these make-shift
or open air markets, you can get anything you desire.
There are numerous places in Goa where these flea markets
or open air stalls are located. Of those various flea markets
in Goa, Anjuna Flea Market is the main attraction. Anjuna
Flea market is a huge market sprawling across the Anjuna beach
wherein you will find just about anything to everything. The
flea market on Anujana beach is organized on every Wednesday.
It is believed that Anujana Goa Flea Markets came into
being with the hippies who exhibited their material possessions
in a bid to spend some more time in the blissful and idyllic
heaven of Goa.
Nevertheless, the Goa Flea Markets has now grown into a kind of
souvenir bazaar. In this market, hawkers from Gujarat, Rajasthan
and Kashmir offer handicraft items which include embroidered
and mirror work tote bags, waist pouches, bedspreads, waistcoats
and costume jewelry. However, on these articles no tags have
been put. So sellers bid any price they wish depending upon
the customer. All you need to do is haggle with smartness
so that no one can dupe you.
Apart from Anjuna flea market you can also go for Arpora
flea market which again is very popular for its colorful products
and articles. Besides, there is another flea market in Vagator.
In this place market is organized every Wednesday. However,
the flea market in Vagator is still striving for making its
impression.
