Goa, now a region of India, was for centuries a Portuguese colony which is why it appears more westernised than the rest of the country. It has both a large Catholic and Hindu population who rub shoulders without any animosity and have churches and temples sitting side by side. The Goans are a famously relaxed and friendly people so you are always assured of a warm welcome. Located on the western coast of India, Goa has mile after mile of wonderful sandy beaches gently lapped by the Arabian Sea. It is the perfect place to forget the pressures of twenty-first century living. The Goa holiday season stretches from mid-September until the end of May. The monsoon season, from June to September, is best avoided. Apart from the high humidity, many resorts close, or at least have significantly reduced facilities during this period.
