The Cathedral of Havana: the most beautiful spot in Havana.

By J. M. Maurette

You might wander around as much as you want in Havana looking for a best place to hang out and you will never find a place as beautiful and attractive as The Cathedral Square. This spot is the subject of admiration of each and every person tourist or local that has ever visited it.

In earlier times it was named Plaza de la Cinaga (Swamp Square), and later on "Plaza de la Catedral", it is a place that has much to do with the beginning of Havana, founded on the 16th Century in the proximities of Havana's harbour.

Late in the 18th century and after many refurbishment to a religious building which eventually became The Cathedral of Havana Cathedral the Square was to be known as The Cathedral Square. The Cathedral it self is just amazing. On its facades the best baroque architecture of Havana can be appreciated which contrast with its complete Neoclassic style in the interior. Beautiful buildings surround the this church harmonizing with the splendour of the square.

Numerous important gatherings take place in this astonishing little spot of Havana. Festival, music concerts and gala dinners for important groups have found the perfect venue in Cathedral Square. The weather is always nice and the atmosphere can not be better. Surrounded by a magnificent architecture and serenaded by some always excellent Cuban music can be the ideal perfect evening.

As a special feature, one of the nearby alleys is the seat of the most famous Cuban restaurant: La Bodeguita del Medio which reaffirms its quality after serving for more than 60 years since its foundation.It is an emblematic restaurant for the Cuban tourism, with the walls full of around two million autographs of all clients from different time periods, and photographs left by outstanding figures such as Ernest Hemingway, Mario Benedetti, Pablo Neruda or Errol Fryn.

The list of celebrities is long, including cinema artists, painters, politicians, dancers and musicians, both foreign and Cuban, where this country's national poet Nicols Guilln (deceased) had his space too.

Many people spend time chatting in this site which is always amusing due to the presence of guitarists and singers, as it has happened for more than six decades, when its founder Angel Martinez (deceased), used to personally inquire about the likes of his guests.

The best hotels in Havana are just few minutes walk from this square. To avoid taxis and unnecessary hassle just book your self in one of the boutique hotels in The Old Town and you will be able to just walk outside and enjoy a caf in any of these captivating squares. If you need any assistance or advice you can always contact us as we will be very happy to share our expertise with you.

Business inside Which Fair?

By Ian Kleine

Fairs are all good and hot. After all, it is a place where businesses start and are nurtured by the community, where businesses are put to the test whether they could make it to the real world or not.

However, it is not just the matter of thinking what to sell in the town trade. There is the bigger focus of WHAT fair to sell your wares into. Deciding which festival to enter is not a insignificant thing.

It holds the same magnitude as that of thinking what to sell, where to set your post up, and what to decide on your motif and all other things. There are things you must consider to make good money and profit when doing business with fairs. And factors play a big role in that.

Think about the period. You have to have a good audience. Most fairs that promise good market value are those around the summer and fall seasons. Winter and Spring are a no-no (unless your wares are all themed for that season, then give it a go). Winter and Spring has the most difficult times for transportation.

Most people would be too busy to go out of their houses and would rather spend their time inside. Summer and Fall boasts a good attendance as the heat makes people want to go out somewhere. The roads are dry and the common mindset is that of the bored citizen. Service that citizen and make good money.

Think about the venue. Indoors or outdoors? The security and comfort of indoor festivals and trade markets beat the humidity and heat of the outside. A comfortable environment attracts more customers and, possibly, more prospects. It might be a tad spendy than outdoor fairs, so mull over that thought as well with your expenses.

Think about the audience. The gender demographics. The racial demographics. Think about what type of people would go to that fair. A vegetable and fruits fair is a general staple in most states. But if your product is making charcoal drawings, surely that won't be a good addition to the fair. You better make a pass then.

The perfect fair to sell in is the place where you have a good market, a good reputation and a good number of the market share hooked on to your idea. It is wise to consult your community of what their opinion is about your product before the event.

So if you are planning a short break, or a longer holiday, you can look forward to a unique experience and take your family on a trip of a life time where you will be able to live like the locals and get to know them even better.

Cottage holidays are not just a holiday and the very concept of holiday is redefined amidst the idea of a cottage holiday. You actually have a lot to do as do your family, your friends and your kids who can all enjoy the true bliss of a holiday in the midst of varied pleasure tips while staying at a holiday cottage. Fishing, horse riding, hiking, walking, golfing or just sitting at the wilderness of the nearby woods - cottage holidays have a lot to offer to make your holiday a memoir that you will cherish forever.

UK Holiday cottages Online was launched in 1996 offering self catering holiday cottages throughout Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland, in all the most popular counties like Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Cumbria, Derbyshire, Yorkshire and Norfolk. UK Holiday Cottages Online also features a large groups section with a pictorial display of properties which can accommodate parties of 8 or more.

Whichever type of holiday accommodation you decide to go for, keep an open mind and shop around. Sometimes privately owned holiday homes can be cheaper than apartments contained within a complex.

To fight away the stresses of everyday life, everyone loves to have a taste of change which can be best fulfilled by going on cottage holidays. Cottages nowadays provide the facilities like all the latest amenities, basic and luxury facilities and everything that you would love to have to lead a decent life. This leaves you feeling comfortable and relaxed for the duration of your time away.

If you own the cottage, it is advisable to surround the place with all your favourite things, like books, music, etc., apart from the other necessary things. Also, to increase the comfort level of the cottages and give it a more welcoming and cosy look, ample use of cushions and pillows is the best way. The upholstery, including the curtains must be in bright and sunny colours to lend a happy and lively feel to the cottages.

Keeping the background light or preferably light and then using coloured accessories, like furniture, fruits, flower, dishes, rugs and curtains is a good way of highlighting the accessories in the room. Wood dcor, like wooden planks for flooring and rough hewn timbers lend a rustic feel to cottages and is easy to maintain as well. Keep the accessories inside the cottage to the minimum accessories. Stuffing the cottage with a lot of stuff can make it look stuffed and suffocating.Last but not the least, decorating cottages with memorabilia, and antiques lends it an old world charm and unmakes you want to get back to it more often.

No doubt you will struggle to decide whether to discover the nameless flowers of the pea green verdure or to follow the haze moon hanging loosely at the nameless, endless vast field. As well as this you can watch the plethora of color decking up the brows of the spring mountain. Cottage holidays are indeed your ultimate destination if you are looking for peace and quiet and a truly relaxing break. You can fall in love with nature time and time again, as you choose to stay at a cottage and make your holiday lot more special.

But for the more discerning tourist, the decision to go for sun, snow or sailing is an important one.The type of accommodation you would prefer can have a bearing on your choice. It may be the height of luxury to go full-board, but you are somewhat restricted to set meals on such a package. More people are opting for self-catering, which usually take the form of guest apartments or holiday homes.

Cheap Travel Packages Advice

By Dino Williams

Prices for holiday services change awfully quick, and in this ultra fast moving world of traveling, learning the best tips brings maximum profit for businesses and great fun for holiday makers. Cheap travel packages are often used as a marketing strategy to attract customers, and this campaign development does not remain within the boundaries of travel agencies, as it greatly touches on the policies of hotels and complex resorts too. Sometimes the prices increase without any apparent reason, but keep in mind that the higher the demand for a certain destination, the bigger the prices will get.

Be careful about the cheap travel packages you select since you could be paying more for the flight to the destination than for the whole stay there. Those tourists whoprefer direct routes should know that airfares vary depending on the internal regulations of airlines and are not given any explanation. Hence, a direct route is much more expensive than alternate or combined flights. Before paying for an international flight, you may be interested in checking whether you do not pay less by getting a domestic one in the same direction, first. Some of the cheap travel packages are planned according to these standards, but others aren't.

Another way to be sure that the cheap travel packages are what they claim all the way is prepare for all aspects of the journey. Many restaurants in various parts of the world still take advantage of tourists without their realizing it, therefore, it is time tourists started focusing more on local food they could have during outings for instance. This does not mean that you would have to cook while on holiday, but you should make some research before getting to the destination and get some tips on good local establishments that focus on regional specialties. For local specialties, costs are a lot smaller and the food is absolutely great!

Flexibility allows one to get really good deals on cheap travel packages. Let's say that you want to go to South America. If you ask a travel agency for a holiday to Rio de Janeiro, you will most likely pay more than if you just expressed your wish of visiting Brazil. Some less known and little crowded resorts could offer you a lot more than a very popular but rather luxurious one. Nevertheless, it all depends on what you expect from the cheap travel packages, and what idea of a holiday you have in mind. Plenty of details are widely available on the Internet and you can learn loads of useful things to help you maximize the money efficiency and the pleasure of the holiday.

Festival of Snow

By Ian Kleine

Ok, I was intrigued as to why we had a "Snow" festival when the thing was but a common sight when it was winter. Shouldn't we have a rain festival then or something along those lines?

This year, they had settled to celebrating snow. That minuscule, white ice crystal. I don't think the city had gone conkers quite yet, but seeing this was the first time, I indulged myself to the little fiesta. It was a snowy town to begin with, so I had it would be quite natural for us to celebrate something we had plenty of.

The festival had no name yet, except for the fact that it was indeed, cold-themed. The townsmen were were quite excited frankly, even though I assumed that they would be just freezing their you-know-whats off after the festival. They had everything planned quite well though.

In the first day, they were going with just the usual calm day of displaying stuff and being off with their business. They were off in their booths selling either food (the winter rice cake was a treat to the tongue, the wine was something of another matter). There were makeshift igloos too, and a warm fire inside; it was kind of daunting to be inside, but when you've been there, you would know it's actually quite comfy.

The second day marked off a town snowball fight. It was very, very invigorating to say the least. They had, like, people do stuff you would only find in military war games. They had the melee people who crept up another and slid snow down their pants (not a very good thing mind you), the snipers who propelled snow balls feet away, and the support, who made the snowballs for each and everyone.

The last day had the big bonfire. Everyone was warm, and everyone felt content. I had felt that it wasn't the snow that made everyone happy, but just because everyone was just there being themselves.

It was more of a celebration of life than of the snow.

Why Celebrities Use Cosmic Ordering

By Anne-Marie Laureaut

Today many people are searching for a way to improve their lives. To live a more fulfilled life, where they are able to have the things they want and enjoy what it is they have. There are many options out there that promise to help you manifest your dreams, but none that work as well as cosmic ordering.

This is actually a practice that is essentially spiritual, but not quite in the religious sense. The core of this method is that you must have the innate belief in yourself that the universe is capable of providing you with whatever you desire from life. You request for something and you shall receive it. This is not essentially a rather saintly process; you need not be enviably pure in order to receive the good things in life! However, being virtuous is a benefit in all walks of life.

Cosmic ordering is simply spiritual manifestation of your dreams and goals. You are going to ask, or as they say order what you want from the universe. This could be anything from a change in your life to a change in circumstances that will lead to you attainment of your "wants."

Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. Wayne Dyer opine that to place an order in the universe you must be in an invisible energy field which they call the 'field of intent'. This field is where our spirit connects with the universe and returns conscious desires.

There is a high probability that cosmic ordering is something you have done without knowing that you are doing it. Think of all the times you have really wanted something and the wish has come true. You probably thought it was a coincidence. But actually it was cosmic ordering at work.

For cosmic ordering to work, you must have the power of intention, that is, you must really believe that what you are asking for is what you deserve.

Saying "I want a new car," or "I want that promotion" and then believing that you shouldn't get those things because you didn't earn them, or you didn't put any effort into getting them will make it so that your order is not fulfilled. If a better life is really what you want, then you have to believe deep down in your soul that you deserve a better life.

Cosmic ordering is really not hard, it is one the easiest processes you can do to change your life. Is there a down side to this? Well, as with anything in life, there are always pluses and minuses to how it is used. Thinking about and believing negative things will also cause those negative things to manifest.

So if you walk around thinking about and believing that you are going to get fired, then you are going to get fired. Make sure that you are only focusing on the positive things, focus on the good things that you really want.

Most people have had so many years living in unhappy circumstances and seeing themselves as being 'undeserving' that it is impossible for them to manifest what they want.

Sometimes your own subconscious mind works against you and tries to keep things in your life the same as they are now.

For success at cosmic ordering you need to train your subconscious mind to make this change possible.

To do this, try a bit of meditation or self hypnosis. And believe in yourself!

The time has come for you to change your life as well. Use cosmic ordering and live the life you have always dreamt about.

Better Digital Photography With Storage Cards

By Sylvia Howard

Digital cameras may not need film like in olden times anymore, but the amount of pictures that you can store is still a fundamental facet. And as most digital cameras have a picture capacity which is less than a single analogue film, you will have to get a storage card as the first accessory equipment.

You should get several digital camera storage cards as soon as you buy a new camera. Storage cards are tiny, so they are easy to carry around, they are also cheap as the price of circuitry is coming down fast, and they give you the freedom to take lots and lots of pictures.

For example, if you are about to go on a remote trip, somewhere where it will be difficult to transfer the images to a computer on a regular basis, such as on a sailing boat for instance, having a lot of digital camera memory cards will allow you to take more pictures.

But the greatest thing about having several digital camera memory cards is that you will use the camera differently, not more weighing every single picture but having the luxury to take several shots of the same subject and then to choose the best one later.

With many digital cameras, you can take a single shot and the camera will automatically save several, with different lighting and exposure conditions. As a result a single picture will morph into four or five onto your storage card, which is why you will need a lot of storage.

Just visualize the difference between being able to take dozens, or hundred photos a day while travelling. Taking a lot of extra pictures means that you will also end up with more photos to choose from at the end of your trip, resulting in nicer photo albums.

Extra digital camera memory cards will also diminish the risk that you will fill up the available storage and that you will have to delete great pictures to make space for new ones.

You never know when your existing memory card will fail so keeping an extra card can pay dividends when the time comes. Just be aware though of what type of memory card your digital camera uses as there are various types of cards available for different digital cameras such as SD cards and Sony memory sticks. You don't want to buy a memory card that is not compatible with your digital camera.

Regarding the amount of memory, nowadays storage cards range from one to 32 GB and more. You should take as much memory as you may need and then some more, spread over two or three cards for redundancy.

Also, if you are going with multiple memory cards as part of your digital camera accessories, you should also consider a card reader, which will allow you to seamlessly transfer your pictures from the card to a PC, or even directly to a digital photo printer, via a USB connection.

European River Travel With Panache

By Samson Mandez

River travel has been growing in popularity for the past few years with more and more families taking that option for their first family cruise or their annual retreat, and more than ever so when going to Europe.

One of the causes for the rising popularity of European river travel is that even for a luxury cruise prices are sill noticeably lower than for an ocean cruise, if you compare them to each other. For instance there are vary good alternatives to an expensive seaborne cruise for a family, and many will prove to be far more relaxing, as well as enriching.

For instance, a week traveling down the magnificent Rhine River, savoring the attractions and the culture of Switzerland, France, Germany and the Benelux, possibly with a few days on a side trip to another city close by, is not going to cost more than a comparable cruise in the Caribbean.

If you book European river travel, you will usually fly out to one of the major European cities where the cruise will depart from and there you will meet your ship, this ship will then take you on a passage down some of the most celebrated and beautiful rivers on the continent.

The bigger rivers of the continent flow through some of its most famous towns, so you will be able to experience a lot of culture and urban living from the comfort of your floating hotel, without having to learn local traffic customs to negotiate the countries' roads in a car.

Even while the boats that you will be on during European river travel are much smaller than their ocean going cousins, they are no less lavish and the service that you can expect whilst traveling is no less breathtaking.

For instance, the cuisine that you will experience on a premium quality wholly catered European river cruise will be just as good as the one in the continent's most renowned hotels. You can also expect a room service that will be just as good, with luxurious rooms that will be cleaned every day.

A European watercourse cruise is a great way to spend your holidays, and especially so if you are not a great fan of the kind of organized entertainment prevalent on big seagoing vessel, and if you rather prefer more individual and attentive service. The specifics of European river travel will result in you having a more cultured and memorable experience.

In fact European river travel can offer all the luxury and panache that you may be accustomed in a high quality sea cruise, but with some extra pizazz on top. So regardless of whether you have been on a cruise boat before, this could be the year to consider booking a trip on Europe's waterways.

Reasons to Wear a Motorcycle Helmet

By Frank Medley

Almost all motorcycle riders choose to always wear their helmet. But for others, the choice isn't so obvious. Why are their people who don't wear a helmet? What do experts says about reasons to wear a motorcycle helmet?

If you could wear a motorcycle helmet, why wouldn't you? There are many reasons people choose not to wear a helmet. Some cannot afford one. Others don't want a law imposed on them, or like to feel 'free'.

There are also always tales within the cycling community about how someone was badly injured or even killed because of their helmet, similar to stories about deadly seatbelts. These may inspire some riders to feel safer without one.

However, nothing could be further from the truth. When riding a motorcycle, the best way to protect yourself is by wearing a motorcycle helmet. Studies have shown that helmets drastically reduce motorcycle related fatalities and injuries.

If you love to ride, you've probably heard of the idea that all motorcyclists have either been in an accident, or will be. Motorcycles are notoriously prone to certain types of road issues and accidents.

These accidents, even small ones, can be made drastically worse if you are not wearing a motorcycle helmet for every ride. They are made specifically to protect the head and neck of riders.

Something to keep in mind is to never buy a helmet used. It can be impossible to tell if the helmet was ever dropped or worn in a crash, and either situation will render the helmet worthless and unable to protect you.

If you are still unconvinced that you should be wearing a motorcycle helmet, check your city and state regulations. You may be surprised to find that you and any passengers are required to wear them by law.

The Top Ten Travel Destinations

By Dino Williams

Naming top ten travel destinations could prove easy, but how relevant such a list is, that is debatable. This article includes only the most popular locations identified or recognized on the statistics made thanks to international travel agencies and according to travelers reviews posted on various web pages.

Latin America deserves a place on the list with Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Peru as favorite destinations but the remnants of the ancient Maya and Inca civilizations, or the modern and sunny Cancun are not to be overlooked either. The cultural impact, the the entertainment diversity combined with some great weather conditions, make this part of the world a focal attraction point for millions of tourists during the peak holiday season.

Europe deserves its good name for the great sights it offers to travelers: Paris, Rome, Venice, Spain's Arab treasures and the misty lands of Ireland and Scotland, and these are just a few of the things that make the old continent one in the top ten travel destinations. Palma de Mallorca and Ibiza require a special mention here, as they complete the list of exotic resorts in the European part of the world.

The Egyptian Pyramids and Morocco are absolutely magnificent, and travel agencies put up thousands of touristic packages for holidays on the dark continent. One of the features of African resorts consists in the constant touristic push and an unforgettable adventure in the mixture of cultures that contrast so thoroughly in the crowded North-African cities. No matter if you visit retreats in oases or famous resorts, this part of Africa will always rank among the top ten travel destinations.

Moving further on to the distant countries of the Far East it is impossible not to notice the fascination with Nepal and the ancient Buddhist temples on the roof of the world. It is the Nepalese capital city, Kathmandu, with its thirteen hundred years of history that embraces most of the tourist crowds. As for the climbing of the Everest, very few courageous people dare to challenge their limits on the crests of Himalaya.

Finally, an impressive number of sunny islands can enter a top ten travel destinations list: Bali, Jamaica, Crete, Hawaii and many others, which is why the list needs to be a lot more comprehensive, as so are the beauties man and God created. All in all the places closest to a person's heart remain the ones to attract him/her for further exploration, and therefore, anyone can put up a list of top ten travel destinations.

Cosmic Ordering Secrets Of Celebrities Revealed!

By Janette Stretens

More and more, people are realizing the importance of the cosmic ordering service. All you need to do is to place your order with the universe and then get it! Many celebrities publicly put their success down to cosmic ordering.

There are so many people around the world who are getting what they consciously desire. But it doesn't work first time for everyone. Do the people who it does work for know something the others don't? Are there really cosmic ordering secrets.

Think about the last time that someone you know got a promotion or won a great prize. Whether you know it or not, you were placing an order. Disdain and envy at anothe's success tells the universe that you are someone who welcomes poverty and misery, and that these negative emotions are in fact your status quo.

Think about going out to dinner. If you see someone with a great dinner, do you get angry? Chances are, all you do is order what they're having! You'd be happy for them and hope that it would be as good for you whenever your dinner shows up.

Think about it in that regard. Find joy in other people's success and take delight in their pleasure. Remember that when you get the same that it will be just as sweet. Don't be angry, disappointed or bitter, or believe that there is not enough to go around. That means that you are placing an order for failure.

Lots of world religious out there tell us that the power of prayer can get us anything we want, although we need to think about how belief fits into that. More and more scientists are finding that quantum physics is a lot like a belief system and all the evidence is pointing to religious dogma as being true.

What makes this possible is the application of the mind's energy. Don't think about this as something that takes away from religious doctrine, but in fact reinforces it.

If you are just using positive affirmations, the problem is that there is a lot that can stand in your way. Past experiences can negate your new hope, and this can get rid of a lot of the good that you are doing. Remember that while this can work, it can take time to really root out the old beliefs.

So what are the cosmic ordering secrets? You need to do a thorough housecleaning of your brain before you start any program to attain your life's desires. You need to start with a clean slate and realize it's okay to accept all the great wealth the Universe has to offer.

Lots of things can help you get rid of the old. Would you use a vacuum on a dirty carpet or a small tooth brush? There are lots of scientific designs out there that can help you make your mind more open to what it is you want.

Self-hypnosis, subliminal affirmations and binaural frequency waves help to do just that. They allow you to find and eliminate all the old negative thinking that you have in your subconscious mind. All that the cosmic ordering secrets really are is understanding that your own subconscious mind wants to sabotage your efforts to get whatever you desire.

Your mind hates change. It fights to keep you in a steady state so unless you believe that you already have what you want, just by using your cosmic ordering system; it fights you tooth and nail. These additional tools help to believe you already are there and relieves you of the fight to improve. It even makes it uncomfortable not to achieve and receive everything you want, because you already believe it exists.

The truth is that you can get whatever you want from the cosmic ordering system. Select your order carefully and then shepherd that belief into reality!

Is Golf Right for You

By Jay Stevenson

Golf has long been looked at as an elitist sport - something not everyone can enjoy. However, it is fast becoming popular and more and more people are taking this up as a sport. The increasing number of golf clubs, golf accessories, and learning instructions for those who wish to learn this sport only make it easier for anyone who desires to learn.

Golf is also often seen as a mundane sport - compared to other ball sports, that is. There is very little tension, no thumping heart, no BP rising or other such phenomena that seem to occur with sports such as baseball, basketball or football. As such, not many non-players will avidly watch the game. Nevertheless, understanding the terminology of the game, its rules and regulations and maybe trying it out once in a while will help one get an idea of what kind of a game it is.

Golf essentially is a game of stroke. The player uses a golf club made of iron, wood or steel to play the ball into any one of the (usually) eighteen holes on a 'golf course'. In this sense, golf is different from all other ball games since its area is not determined. The golf course is usually spread over many acres and the design of each one is quite different. Often a large effort, planning and money is put into designing and maintaining golf courses and most of them are also becoming tourist attractions and places of leisure and relaxation.

Golf courses can have nine or eighteen holes, spread over a large area, as per its design. The player has to play the ball into each of the holes one by one, depending on the layout of the golf course. In a nine-hole course, the player has to play all the holes twice. The player starts with the first hole of the course and then proceeds to the next only after he's played the hole successfully. It is essential that the ball be played only by striking it with the club and cannot be moved from a position that it is lying in. If you miss a hole and the ball ends up, for example, behind a bush, you have to play it from there (although bushes are very rare on a golf course).

The important aspect of golf is the swing, or the stroke. It might seem like a ridiculous idea for a game to some - keep hitting a ball until it drops into a hole - however, this is where players like Tiger Woods have made it big and popularized the game to the extent it is today. Because oftentimes the player can't even see the hole, and only knows what area it might be in - one has to be very careful with their aim and swinging technique. Also, the vastness of a golf course makes it very difficult to estimate how much force one will really have to use. Golf can be thought of as carom in many ways; however due to having no contact with the ball, it is often difficult to determine how much force, applied in which direction will yield what kind of results on the ball. Even aspects like posture and the hand being used to tee-off matter a lot in getting a swing right.

About the Author:

Whether you are just starting to learn the basics of your golf swing, or you are looking to step up your current game. A better golf swing will get you to that next level you deserve. With a little practice and some great guidance, you will get there.

Goa - Land of Plenty

By Ava Mason

Nestled on Indias West Coast, Goa's varied mix of culture and beach offers a unique introduction to India.

Most roads in Goa are little more than a tarmac indication of the direction you can travel. They snake along the countryside with nothing more than an arbitrary nod towards modern engineering and road construction. Around blind corners, cows - exploiting their sacred status - wander across the road regardless of traffic, earning them the nickname from locals of "Goan Traffic Police". In its own way the road system works - allowing day-to-day work and travel with minimum fuss and maximum noise.

As a holiday destination India has always promised a lot, and more often than not it delivers. Goa is no exception. Many are drawn to its modern resorts, vibrant bars and beautiful beaches. In recent years Goa's population has grown to over 1 million as migrant traders seek to make a living on its shores.

A Colonial Past... A Portuguese colony until 1961, Goa has shaken off most of its European past, but a few colonial gems still remain. For the last few years in particular, Goa has been known as the land of wealthy with tourism firmly established. Visit a Goan beach resort and youll find a fascinating array of stalls and traders selling everything from ethnic jewellery to tacky souvenirs.

The real pull of Goa for many is the beaches, which are superb. Others prefer to hunt for a bargain at the stalls which sell ethnic jewellery and souvenirs. And for those looking for a lively nightlife the bars and restaurants of Goa's coastal resorts do not disappoint.

Hedonism or Tranquility? If youre looking for a lively holiday then Goa's most established resort Baga offers a multitude of bars and restaurants. Further north the coast enjoys more peaceful resorts such as Arambol with its paradise beach. South of the state you'll find Palolem " a more traditional Goan experience where fishermen still haul in the daily catch along the beach.

The Goan sunset... No holiday to Goa would be complete without a visit to the beach at sunset. Here villagers set up food stalls for the evening trade and tourists enjoy a stroll along the golden sands.

A glorious mix of Indian culture and European influences makes Goa a unique holiday destination. Set foot on its shores and you wont be disappointed.
