coastline. The beach is the location of many hotels.
This beach has one of the finest Majorda Beach Resort. Majorda
is the village where the Jesuits, fond as they were of the
good things of life, discovered the best Goan toddy (sap from
the coconut palm), which they used to leaven the bread.
Naturally, then, Majorda is the place where the Goans were
first trained in the delicate art of baking European breads.
The Majordans are still Goa's best bakers. The delights of the
beach, however, were discovered much earlier, in the mythical
times when the gods above went through a lot of turmoil. There
is a Goan version of Ramayana and therein Lord Rama was
kidnapped as a child and brought up at Majorda. Later, in
pursuit of Sita, he camped at Cabo de Rama - a headland
further south - where the stretch of developed beaches ends. |
