Chapora
fort was built by the Adil Shah of Bijapur on the southern headland of
the Chapora River. It was also known as "Shahpur" and is now
mostly ruined. It has a commanding view of the Vagator beach and is near
to Anjuna beach. The red laterite bastion, crowning the rocky bluff, was built by the Portuguese in 1617 on the site of an earlier Muslim structure. Deserted in the 19th century, it lies in ruins today, although the views up and down the coast from the weed-infested ramparts are still superb |

full moon parties, ANJUNA, 8-km west of Mapusa, is Goa at its most "alternative".

Baga, 10-km west of Mapusa, is basically an extension
of Calangute; even the locals are unable to decide where ends and the
other begin. more.. |

Crouched in the shadow of a Portuguese fort on the
opposite, northern side of the headland from Vagator, Chapora, 10-km
from Mapusa, is a lot busier than most north coast villages.

Barely a couple of kilometres of cliff tops and parched
grassland separate Anjuna from the southern fringes of its nearest
neighbour, Vagator, a desultory collection of ramshackle farmhouses and
picturesque old Portuguese bungalows more.. |
