Goa, India

In 2007 I spend some time in Goa, India. Goa is the smallest province of India, located at the west coast, and is the one province where the majority of the people is Catholic and where the cows are not holy. Besides that, Goa has lovely beaches which are exactly suitable for an escape from normal life.

Goa lies at the Arabian Sea. Because of the Portugese occupation in the 16th century lots of Goa still shows the influence of this period. Many houses are in Portugese style and the main religion is Christian Catholic. It is well known for its beautifull beaches. Panaji is the capital, but Vasco Da Gama is the largest city. Also famous for its hippy culture in the 60's and 70's and still you walk into people for who time stood still since then.

To give you a small impression of the beaches of Goa, I posted a couple of photos in this album. Enjoy.
