The Indian state of Goa, also known as 'the pearl of the east', is known
for its Gothic churches, age-old ruins, palm-fringed beaches, coconut
groves, ferry rides, and bubbly folk music. With its 131-km-long
coastline, Goa is an important tourism destination in every tourist's
itinerary. Sun, sand and sea being the major attractions, Goa is a
perfect tourism heaven for the ones who need and want relaxation. Goa is
one of India's special tourism places, a State seemingly blessed with
fabulous weather, even more fabulous beaches, delightful people, good
food, hill-top forts, little white-washed churches, soaring
Portuguese-era cathedrals, a unique cultural legacy-small wonder,
therefore, that Goa is one of India's prime tourism and holiday
destinations. Come during the holidays or just about any long weekend,
and Goa is packed with jaded yuppies hoping to switch off and unwind for
a few days, and sun-starved Europeans, soaking up all that glorious sun
and food.
