Held on Wednesdays through the tourist season, this sprawling market mixes Tibetan jewellery, Kashmiri shawls, Gujarati textiles and Goan spices. Go early to beat the heat, carry cash and bargain with a smile.
North Goa's real market town. Friday is the big day, when farmers and traders bring chouriço sausages, kokum, cashews, pickles and piles of seasonal fruit. Come hungry and with small notes.
On Saturday evenings in season a hillside in Arpora fills with food stalls, fashion, crafts and a live-music stage. It is a festival as much as a market — arrive around sunset and stay for dinner.
Margao's covered market is a warren of spice sellers, sweet shops, fabric and flowers — the south's everyday shopping hub. Pair it with a stroll around the colonial buildings near the Municipal Garden.
The road between Calangute and Baga is lined with shops and Tibetan and Kashmiri stalls selling swimwear, kaftans, sarongs, sunglasses, silver jewellery, shawls and souvenirs. Open daily and late in season.
A covered market for fish, vegetables, spices, flowers and Goan sweets like bebinca and dodol. Go in the morning for the full buzz.
In season the lanes behind Palolem and Agonda fill with stalls selling sarongs, cotton dresses, hammocks, silver jewellery and hand-stitched bags. Bargain gently.
The Saturday Night Market in Arpora, on Saturday evenings during the season (roughly November–April).
At tourist stalls start at around a third to half of the first price and settle somewhere in between — politely.
Change the planet's sky.
