From
Bogmalo down south, there is
Majorda beach and the Majorda
Beach Resort. Majorda is the
village where the Jesuits, fond
as they were of the good things
of life, discovered the best
Goan toddy (sap from the coconut
palm), which they used to leaven
the bread. Naturally, then,
Majorda is the place where the
Goans were first trained in the
delicate art of baking European
breads. The Majordans are still
Goa's best bakers. The delights
of the beach, however, were
discovered much earlier, in the
mythic times when the gods above
went through a lot of turmoil.
There is a Goan version of
Ramayana and therein Lord Rama
was kidnapped as a child and
brought up at Majorda. Later, in
pursuit of Sita, he camped at
Cabo de Rama-a headland further
south-where the stretch of
developed beaches ends.
Transportation
Majorda is located at a distance
of 18 km from Dabolim Airport
and connected to Margao with
buses, motorcycle taxis, and
taxis.
