Chapora Fort, Chapora estuary, Siolim



Magnificent view of the range of Chapora Fort at the Chapora delta.
My earliest memories of visiting this place is my grandmother taking me as a young lad from Guirim to Siolim where she lived to spend summer holidays for a week or two. The highlights were going fishing with my uncle at high tide, picking shell fish - tisreo (clams), khube (shells) and kalvam (oysters) from the sea early in the morning, and going to the Siolim tinto to buy fresh vegetable and groceries.
