    What a nice guided walk. Lots about Panjim's history and the special background to this area! Live music in the park and a tasty snack inbetween. Great! I loved with how much passion our guide Mugdha told us all the stories of this area in a clear English, which we could understand very well. Looking forward to other experiences with Makeithappen. Thank you!

Every house is different in its character, accessible with well tarred roads, parking space and compound is housed with ornamental railings carved in stones, and a distinct construction technology used to construct these houses. The St Inez creek joins the Mandovi River in this area and we see some of the problems created by modernization and economic growth.
