now the main railway terminal in south Goa . Margao is a
typical Goan town, with Portuguese influence all around. It
displays its past through artistic temples, churches and
other monuments. The town has a old-worldly charm which
attracts tourists from far off places.
Margao has an excellent Market area for all those who love
to shop and eat outside. The shady balcos (porches) and
