- rahulvverma@gmail.com | Goa, July, 2024 : This video takes us all back to Goa for a quick visit of maybe a couple of videos that cover things we missed the last time we were here. This is a supplementary series to the one we already saw as part of the Goa series many months ago. To be honest I am sure most of you have not watched the earlier videos which is okay.
In this video we start our walk towards the Portugese Quarter of Goa, called the Fontainhas. This is a historic neighborhood of the Indian state that is recognized by UNESCO as a heritage zone. Our walk soon takes us past beautiful pastel colored houses that transport us into what seems like a small European town. The architecture here is very clearly Portugese / European and stands out as very unexpected and very charming for the beach paradise that is Goa.,
Our walk soon takes us to St. Sebastian Chapel that was built in the 1800s and that stands out for its iconic white color. We spend the rest of the hot afternoon walking around and exploring more of the charming houses of this neighborhood and we witness the rising gradient adjacent to this neighborhood that results from the nearby Altinho Hill. Fontainhas is nestled between this hill on one side and the Ourem Creek on the other, lower side.
After some walking around in the hot and humid Goa afternoon we take a pit stop at a nearby cafe here, a cafe that is setup within a traditional Fontainhas house. We enjoy a nice air conditioned time here while sipping a hot cappuccino coffee. After the pit stop we step out for another nice stroll in the area but soon our limited time in Fontainhas ends. We walk past the iconic 31st January Street that is one of the many streets named after a historic date. 31st January coincides with a date for a historic revolution in Portugal.
The videos ends just a few steps ahead of this 31st January Street. We will try to get back to this charming place another time and maybe explore it better and deeper.
Love you English, I wish I could speak in such way, watched lot of travel videos of youtubers, yours's one is unique, I feel experiencing the lanes as you walk and explain, please post more videos and more often, exploring different parts of India and also abroad.
