I recently revisited one of my favorite childhood tourist spots in Goa, and it remains one of the best scenic places to soak in the beauty of the coast. It was under construction for a couple of months but now they’ve fixed it well! The views from Dona Paula are absolutely breathtaking, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the fresh sea breeze.
There's a fascinating legend associated with this place: it’s said that Dona Paula de Meneses jumped off the cliff into the sea when she was forbidden to marry the man she loved. This story adds a touch of romance and history to the visit, making it even more special.
If you're looking for a place to unwind and enjoy nature, I highly recommend coming here. The cool air and stunning views make it a must-visit...
