Goa

ASIA · SIESTA · SUSEGAD

Panjim's Latin quarter: azulejos, ochre houses, bakeries.
Old Goa basilicas
The cathedral quarter of a vanished Portuguese capital.
Spice farm lunch
Cardamom groves, then banana-leaf feasts.
Anjuna flea & sunset
Wednesday market bargains, then cliffside trance-era sunset bars.
