“In leisure
one can sit back and take in nature.It is very special for each one of us to go
for hiking,camping,jogging, running , walking and so on”…..
So there
could be none other place than Fontainhas-Mala to walk and enjoy with nature.
This is quite
an interesting place of Panjim City - Goa’s capital. This place gets its name
from Fonte-Fenix,Fonte means Fountain or the Zhar at Mala at the foot of
Marutigadh. The stream that flows from the hills of Altinho, Fontainhas has
still maintained its heritage. There is Maruti temple atop which was
inaugurated during Portuguese reign. One can see the ancient Fountain or Zhar
at the foot of the hill which was constructed during the Portuguese tenure.The
major tourist attraction is Borca-Da-Vaca fountain connected to the Mala Zhar.
St-Sebastain’s Chapel is another famous monument in Fontainhas connected to Mala
–Zhar .The walk begins at Mermaid Garden and goes past Retro Venite restaurant
to St-Thomas ward.
The
landscapes rises up with colours – light pink, orche yellow,maroon,indigo blue
on the facades of the houses that add charm to this place and wide streets. One can check out lifestyles and new age fashions on the
shore of the gleaming Mandovi River. One can enjoy a glass of their favourite
drink under the sloped tiled roofs of the restaurants and watch the thrilling
world go by.
This can be
a wonderful end for the delightful walk……
