 Visit to Goa Mapusa
is a small town clustered around the Mount Alto. It is Goa's
third largest town and the capital of the northern Bardez
taluka. It forms the hub of north Goa with a smooth mix of
residential and commercial establishments. It is 13 kms away
from Panaji. Known popularly for its Friday market, people
from all over Goa Tours come here to buy and sell their wares. Everything
from fresh and dried fish, incense, spices, fruits and vegetables
to souvenirs from other states of India is available here.
Local Goan specialties such as spicy sausages and the Goan
spirits such as toddi and cashew feni are much in demand amongst
locals and outsides. Another item to look out for is the magnificent
banana crop from the nearby village of Moira. Most of the
items are sold after a few rounds of bargaining and the prices
are usually much lower than anywhere else.
Mapusa Goa Tours does not have many tourist sites worth visiting. There
are a few colonial era Municipal building on the Altinho hill,
a fairly modern temple of Lord Hanuman just a few minutes
from the main bus stand and most importantly the Church of
Our Lady of Miracles about 2 kms east of the market area.
