Calangute

sandwiched between the villages of Arpora ans Anjuna, in the north and
Candolim to the south, lies the crowded village of Calangute with it's beach
of golden sands. It is now dirtied because of constant garbage from low
class tourists. Its coastal belt is full of swaying palm trees producing
large coconuts that are considered to be the best in Bardez, if not in goa.

Since time immemorial this place has been the bathing place for the whole of
Bardez, during the hot months, of march, April, may and October. Young and
old especially those with arthritis or rheumatic troubles go there to take
salt baths and enjoy the refreshing breeze. The village has some old manors
belonging to families with glorious traditions.
