Here's where you can buy a fancy 'azulejo' item in Goa

MEMORIES OF GOA

If you're looking to take home an azulejo – a hand-painted polished tile – from your holiday in Goa, make sure to visit Galeria Azulejos de Goa in Panjim.

REGAL ENCOUNTER

The Galeria Azulejos de Goa is located in an Indo-Portuguese house that's over 200-years-old, overlooking the Mandovi River. A grand staircase leading up to the gallery gives the place an almost palatial ambience.

HOME SWEET HOME

In Goa, family names on plaques, nameplates, and other customised creations can be found on azulejos, often proudly displayed outside many homes as a welcoming sign.

SLICE OF LIFE

The fridge magnets are adorable and offer a glimpse into typical scenes of Goan life.

SOUND OF MUSIC

Galeria Azulejos also features a concert space, CIPA, where fado, a Portuguese music genre, and traditional Goan folk songs like mandos are regularly performed.

BEYOND AZULEJOS

A small, charming blue-painted umbrella hangs from the ceiling of the place, which serves as the Centre for Indo-Portuguese Arts (CIPA), which hosts music, literature, cuisine and more.

TASTE OF PORTUGAL

The cafe at Galeria Azulejos, serves delicious Goan Portuguese delicacies like Pasteis de Nata, Serradura, Apa de Camarao, Croquetes de Queijo and more.
