A two hour walking tour through Fontainhas, an old Latin Quarter in Panjim that to this day maintains its Portuguese influence. Impeccably maintained, this part of Goa takes us back to a Portuguese past, surviving the onslaught of development in the 21st century. Buildings built in classic Portuguese style dressed in yellow, green or blue with balconies fronted by wrought iron railings and tiled roofs transport you to another era. Stop by Panjim’s oldest bakery to sample authentic Goan delicacies (own cost).
