Goa Shack Sunsets

Most everyone who visits Goa will end up at a beach shack to have a Kingfisher beer for about $ 1.00 and eat a local Goan meal while watching the sun set. 
The shack we decided to go to was at Candolim beach close to Fort Aquada and was not as crowded as some shacks in Baga and Calangute. 



Sunset dinner at a beach shack should cost around $ 10.00 with a couple of large beers, fish curry, rice and some chapatti (whole wheat flat bread). Head towards Candolim beach in North Goa and take a side street (gulley) towards the Calamari Shack which is close to the Taj Hotel.





Sunaparanta- Center for the Arts in Panjim, Goa

The city of Panjim  has a non-profit called Sunaparanta located in the Altinho neighbourhood in the hills of Panjim.  The arts center is in a Portuguese home and hosts art classes and films.

The center has a nice cafe that serves sandwiches both vegetarian and non- vegetarian along with coffee, tea and dessert.  The cafe is located around a inner courtyard where a mosaic class was taking place.
