Goa, also known as “The Pearl of the Orient” is usually associated with parties, beaches, authentic cuisines and cheap flea markets. Amidst all this, we forget to see the unusual side of this beautiful state that has so much to offer architecturally, historically, and culturally.
Goa has its authentic side too, and the Sao Joao Festival is just one of the things that adds to its authenticity.
