CANDOLIM :
Location:
15 Kms from Panjim in the Bardez taluka.
Compares to its surronding beaches, Candolim is very quite, this is due to the fact that they didn't built resort all around the beach. It's a subtile mixture of people taking break from the Rajneesh Ashram in Pune, Tourist for long and short term period, and nature lover's. For the moment the village remains little more than a ribbon developpement of small hotels and cafes.
