Goa (India)
Apologies for grainy image, large crop.
THANK YOU for your visits, comments and favourites.
The sunset beach is one of the most beautiful and very popular beach in South Goa.This beach is very quite and calm beach and the visitors come very often overhere to spend their holidays.This beach is the part of Betalbatim beach where the golden sands blend well with the swaying coconut palms on the fringes. In the morning one can enjoy the early morning walks and in the evening can see the breathtaking view of the sunset. The beach is less crowded and is very peaceful.
Somewhere in South Goa.
Most people go to Goa to enjoy its beaches and its nightlife but for me the essence of Goa is distilled in its picturesque villages,its narrow roads lined with coconut trees ,its lush paddy fields in the Monsoons,its beautiful villas dating back to the Portuguese times and of course its friendly and peaceful people.Nowhere in India do I feel so happy and carefree as in Goa.
I will be off for a few days dear friends.See you all soon.Take care.
Goa is the smallest state of India.
It was under portuguese flag for almost 500 years.
At the present Panaji is the state's capital, while Vasco da Gama is the largest city.
The historic city of Margao still exhibits strongly the cultural influence of the Portuguese, who first landed in the early 16th century as merchants. Soon Goa (Daman and Diu as well) became a colony of Portugal. Goa is a former Portuguese province; the Portuguese overseas territory of Portuguese India existed for about 500 years until it was annexed by India in 1961.
It can be felt the strong influence of Portuguese culture in various areas of Goa.
There is a special wonder feeling in Goa.
