Calangute (Calangute) - a small town on the northern coast of Goa, in the past the local "capital" of the hippies, perhaps, one of the most popular resorts of the state. The local beach can not be called the best, and many will find it too crowded and noisy, but tourists will not have problems with accommodation and food.
The main advantage of Calangute is the proximity of others , less densely populated beaches, where the tourist infrastructure is represented by a few bungalows without amenities and small guest houses, and a sufficiently developed for India transport connection with the towns of the northern coast . Hope for a high level of hotel service is not worth . Calangute is one of the oldest places for recreation, whose wide coastal line was actually the first where foreign tourists appeared in the 1960s, and the constant increase in the standard of living is not included in the tasks of the local administration .
