This is a perfect walk for the person who can’t get enough of Goa’s scenic beauty or the angler on the lookout for good fishing. Begin at 431, Udoim Vaddo, Xisto’s family house, located to the left of the village market. Bathed in sunshine from the inside, this house is a superb example of 18th-century Goan domestic architecture. Ask her sister, Veronica Mascarenhas, if she would like to show you around the house and share her quota of memories. Admire the exquisite furniture crafted by village craftsmen in the home and supervised by the head of the family. At a stone’s throw, you will come to the high point of social life in the village, the fishing bridge! This is a magnificent thing to behold with the running water from the sluice gate mirroring the coconut palms and wooded hills creating a magical matrix where anglers in gumshoes and T-shirts fill their nylon bags with red snappers, mullet, and shrimp.
