Goa is India's smallest State, located midway along the western coastline of India, facing the Arabian Sea. It is renowned for its beaches, appealing especially to Northern Europeans during their Winter, and to Indians during the Summer. Goa has a long history dating back to the 3rd B.C., and came under Portuguese rule in 1510, and was only returned to Indian rule in 1961. With such a background, Goa is an interesting mix of Catholicism and Hinduism; and of Portuguese, Arabic and Indian cultures, all set in the wonderful scenic geographic surroundings of beaches and rivers. The climate is tropical, warm and humid all the time, reaching a high of up to 35 C in May.
