Food & Wine in Goa Goa's delicious cuisine is much more varied and spicy than Indian fare available in Britain although hotels offer many international alternatives for those with Western palates. Coconut features in almost all dishes, either in the form of a paste or milk, or alternatively you can buy your own fresh coconut to enjoy on the beach. Other ingredients that crop up regularly are Goan chilli and pepper which tend to be used in meat and fish dishes, such as delectable prawn curry. Days & Nights in Goa If you want to experience Goa at nighttime, head to the beach bars where you can party 'til the sun comes up. Much of the nightlife has a western feel due to the large amount of Europeans that come here, and you won't be short of people to talk to. The hotels often feature 'African Nights' where local beer, local music and local dancing are proudly offered up for your entertainment. Sights & Sounds in Goa / Sightseeing: The diverse influences that Goa has been subjected to have created a host of sightseeing opportunities. Old Goa stands as a testament to the huge Portuguese presence that once dominated this idyllic part of India before the British came along. Said to rival the splendour of Lisbon in its prime, the convent of St Francis of Assisi and the church of St Augustine should not be missed. Sun & Sand in Goa Warm the soles of your feet on the long tropical expanses of white sand as you stroll slowly towards the gentle blue waves of the Indian Ocean. There are so many fantastic beaches to choose from in Goa that you may have trouble deciding where to go. Chapora boasts a patchwork of coconut palms and a small village, more like a chaotic farm than a fishing community. Anjuna beach is the kind of place where you can engage in mellow contemplation of the world while the sun sinks into the ocean.
