 There are basically two categories of shopping possible in Goa. One can head for the upmarket
boutiques for unusual and good quality curios, handicrafts, antiques
and silks or embroidery items. Otherwise the beach front bazars
and flea markets have a wide selection of cheaper goods. However if you're wanting to buy jeans or shirts or pressure cookers then head for the main square of Panjim town, where all the big shops from Pepe to Mexx are located.
