Goa is known for its virgin beaches, Gothic
churches, whitewashed chapels, crumbling
forts, palm-fringed beaches, coconut groves,
ferry rides, and bubbly folk music are some
of the things that make Goa the paradise
for tourists.
A trip to Goa is not complete unless you
take back a souvenir of your memorable sojourn
to this magnificent state of India. The
local handicrafts of Goa are the most popular
souvenir items sought by tourists. These
handicrafts include items such as brassware,
terracotta, shell work, crochet, carved
furniture, bamboo work, and so on. These
are available in the Government Emporia
and other shops near most of the popular
tourist spots.
Another item that is high on the list of
every traveler to Goa is a pack of the famous
cashew nuts, available almost everywhere
in variety of flavors like plain, salted
and masala. The prices of these nuts vary
on the basis of quality and flavor. Goa
also offers some best selections in home
styling and fashion at reasonable prices
for the tourists. The experience of going
around shops in the traditional markets
of Goa's towns and villages is enthralling
and portrays Goa's ethnic culture and a
peek at the typical Goan way of doing business.
