When to go to Goa (Panaji)?
Portugal left its churches at Old Goa, vast and whitewashed above the Mandovi, and its street plan in Fontainhas, where the houses are painted ochre, blue and green with tiled name plates. The beaches then take over: Baga busy, Anjuna with its Wednesday flea market, Palolem a calm crescent in the south. Vindaloo, xacuti and feni round it off.
