Goa
with its marvellous, unspoilt expanses of palm fringed beaches, warmed by
the sun and the local hospitality, relaxed lifestyles enlivened by the
love of music and dance and tantalising cuisine, makes a heady mixture too
good to resist. More than 450 years of Portuguese rule preceded by Hindu
and Muslim supremacy have made "Sunny Goa" an exciting amalgam
of cultures. Imposing churches, forts perched on high promontories,
delightful old mansions and villas and picturesque whitewashed villages
set amidst velvety paddy fields are all a part of this exciting heritage.
