Strike up a conversation about Goa and her beaches always get a mention. For the soothing waves or the many offerings that range from adventure sports to quick bites, Goa's beaches are too popular.
Whether its the delicious balchao, sorpotel or pork vindaloo, Goan food, even the humble thali, is something people from afar come to savour and relish.
The Goan way of life is simply infectious. Be it the vibrant Carnival or the deeply rooted celebrations of Diwali, the State draws all eyes on her during these festivities.
Their courteous smile, welcoming nature or readiness to help out, Goans make you feel at home, and it's this hospitality that they are always remembered for.
