We Take the Bartola in Goa!<\/p>\n

After the month and peak of the trip, we were looking forward to approaching the coast.\u00a0And although we had seen the sea after the meat feast in\u00a0Mumbai<\/a><\/strong>, what we really wanted was to lay down on the bartender on some beach in the Arabian Sea, in the shade of a coconut palm (or better without a shadow, to not run the risk of dying by coconut shot).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Anyone who asks about beaches in India will say a short word, but that says a lot: GOA<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0Well, in one of its enclaves we spend the next three days of our trip.<\/p>\n

Goa<\/strong> is a small state but with a lot of history, to highlight is the fact that it was Portuguese territory for more than 400 years!\u00a0They came in search of spices and left the dreaded inquisition.\u00a0The owner of the guesthouse where we stayed was explaining a bit the crudeness with which they destroyed any sign that was not in favor of the Catholic Church, devastated even with enough lives.\u00a0Let us thank one San Francisco Javier, who personally took care to light the way for these poor unfortunates … All this as they tell us … Leaving aside this chapter, of which we are not experts, what is clear is that The Portuguese influence is palpable as soon as you enter this state: there are churches every 2 streets!\u00a0In addition, the colorful villas do not look anything like the rest of India.<\/p>\n

We only saw this change from the bus window.\u00a0We had no more desires than to get into the sea water!\u00a0There would be time to discover the historical enclaves of the Portuguese (error, at that time we do not remember that time on the beach sites flies!).\u00a0So we headed in the tartana on duty to the beaches of Palolem, south of the state, which is apparently quieter.<\/p>\n

And I don’t know if more or less than those from the north but a good handful of tourists were.\u00a0Especially Russians!\u00a0How do you know where the good is!\u00a0Well, here we spend the next 72 hours, like two lizards, between coconut palms, hippies, cocktails (3 for 2 euros! If you catch the 2 \u00d7 1 plus free for girls, hehe), cows, spices, wide pants and repellent stores of mosquitoes<\/p>\n

As we said, time flew us, and without realizing it we were already on our way to another beach destination.\u00a0We would have loved to know much more about this state of India, but we left it for the next trip.\u00a0Who knows, maybe we are one of many who spend their entire vacations here.\u00a0It is that the place attracts and it is difficult to let go.<\/p>
