About Margao Market
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.
Good to know

- South Goa is calmer, with wider, cleaner beaches and a slower pace.
- Tip: Swim only between the lifeguard flags, never after dark or after a drink, and never in the monsoon sea (June–September).
