Dear Goanet I read with great interest the article on Goan shacks, and wholeheartedly support the view of the writer. The shacks are a very special part of Goa, everyone loves them , and have their own favorite. Many years ago I decided to live in Spain, on the Costa del Sol, which was then a series of villages all separate from each other, the village of Fuengirola for example had a great shack/bar on the beach called The Sugar Shack, everyone new of it, and it made a great meeting place. Now of course all the villages have merged as one long concrete mass with nothing to distinguish one from another. I hope that Goa will prosper with tourism but hopefully will retain the things that make it such a special place, it can be done with forward planning, and concern for the environment.
