Fontainhas: Discover The Vibrant Soul Of Goa

Panjim’s famous Fontainhas doesn’t need any introduction. The exquisite Latin Quarter is indeed a picturesque neighborhood, known for its vibrant houses, narrow winding streets, and Portuguese colonial architecture. From cute cafes to vibrant houses, this place draws thousands of tourists every day, even during the rainy season. Rich in history and culture, Fontainhas is teeming with quaint cafes, art galleries, and boutique shops. The area is a haven for photographers, attracting visitors from all over the world who come to capture its beauty. Sharing here couple of images which I had clicked during my last trip to Goa.

Jewels Of South Goa

South Goa is replete with stunning beaches. Notwithstanding scorching summer (April last week), I decided to explore it in order to avoid huge rush during tourist season. And the decision was worth taking.  Let’s start with Agonda beach, which I made my base. From here, I traveled to nearby places.

Agonda beach is pure and pristine. Wake up in the morning, take a stroll and soak up the vibe. This beach has everything to impress you. Moreover, one can also enjoy water sports like surfing.

I used to wake up early morning to enjoy the sunrise. There were just a handful of people around me. So the whole beach was just for me. Listening to ocean waves early morning is an incredible experience that cannot be described in words. I used to sit in a secluded place and gaze endlessly at the sky and ocean.

From Agonda, I traveled towards Paloem beach, probably the most famous beach of South Goa. It is bit touristy and you will find a lot of people even during the off season. Still the beach left me breathless with impressive white sand dunes. I did not stay there for long as I had to explore another beach – Patnem.

Certainly, I found tranquility here. Walk along the beaches, take some photographs, grab a beer and enjoy the views.

All the above mentioned places are lined up with numerous bars, shacks and restaurants.

How did I reach Agonda ?

Airport →Margao →Kadamba →Agonda

From the airport, I took a bus for Margao. From Margao, I boarded a bus for Kadamba. And from Kadamba, I reached Agonda via bus. I used public transport extensively. I had a memorable experience as I spent quality time on the beaches without facing any major problem.
