Here’s an overview of your tour
Join me on a nostalgic walk to unravel the stories of how today’s capital City was built. Starting from Ponte de Linhares bridge built to handle the load of horse drawn carriages of its time.
Walking towards the once Mint house casa Moeda situated in the Tobacco square of the bygone days, passing by the saint Thomas Chapel and its quaint lanes.
We walk past some of old tradesmen's shops and street vendors seeing some of the old important buildings as we walk.
We walk down the quaint streets leading a Goan bakery to taste a few of the delicacies traditionally made over firewood or baked in a firewood oven. The bakery experience is subject to timing of operation. Sunday the bakery is closed
Be intrigued by the colonial architecture and colors of the well preserved houses as we walk through these quaint streets of Fontainhas , passing by a traditional community well provided back in day for supply of fresh drinking water.
A photo Stop outside the Saint Sebastian Chapel, as we continue our walk through Fontainhas.
