Nossa Senhora de Merces (Our Lady of Mercy) : Church The church is famous for its annual religious event Fama of Menino Jesuse (Child Jesus) since the 17th century. The predominantly Catholic community celebrates it on the third Monday of October every year. It is one of Goa’s most popular feasts and a big fair is held on the occasion.
The
Bull Fight : From early October to late May, from 4 pm onwards, one can
see the bull fights at Benaulim. On the beat of taped Konkani music, the
bullfights are usually held in an old rice field with no fences or
barricades just outside a village. On the Beach : While taking a stroll on the Colva Beach, silver carpets of bangdde (mackerels) can be viewed shimmering on the golden sands for drying. Fishermen’s motor trawlers can be seen anchored in a line offshore. Visitors are seen in colourful dresses, coming either for a walk or ‘for a change of air’. Several tourists can be seen having a sunbath on the golden sands. The trinket stalls and the drink stands on the golden sands under the moonlight make the evening on the Colva Beach truly romantic..
