About Mapusa Tourism
Mapusa is located about 13 km from Panjim and is one of Goa?s
main commercial centres. It is known as Mapsa in the local terminology
and under Portuguese rule, was written as Mapuçá. This city is the
gateway to most of Goa?s famous beaches in the north. Mapusa
is most famous for its weekly Friday markets that have gained an
incredible reputation among tourists. The market has a lot of local
flavour with people from surrounding villages and towns coming to buy
and sell their various products such as agricultural produce,
locally-grown fruit, dried fish, toddy vinegar, spices, clothes and
other items.
