Goa : Saturday Night Market at Arpora







































Saturday Night Market at Arpora. The market has hundreds of stalls, with all kinds of accessories and is abuzz with music and food. You can sit on a bench and watch the world go by. You'll see the most outlandish sights and some interesting people from all parts of the world walking along with a drink in one hand and a shopping list in the other! There are all sorts of cuisine available to choose from Greek, English, South Indian, Thai, Italian, Goan, Nepali, Indian, Indian-Chinese and desserts. The market sees at least 20,000 people come in . . .

The Indian part of the market has Kashmiri items, wooden articles, silks, pashminas, masks, antiques and home accessories. The part of the market run by foreigners has leather masks,  feathers, clothes popularized by hippies.  And as a touch of exotica there are fortune-tellers and tarot card readers. There is something for everyone . . .

The atmosphere is very vibrant, colourful & rocking all night . . .
