They discuss its meaning, and the social, political, and folk influences on its development. What are the stories that Fado music tells? What is Mando, the goan cousin of Fado?

Goa has some of the most tasteful heritage properties, and yet, most of them remain in ruins. The Palacio Do Deao in Quepem, South Goa, is one exception.

Clyde spends a day at this lavish mansion, uncovering its history and speaking to Ruben and Celio Vasco Da Gama - the couple responsible for restoring the mansion to its former glory. Manicured lawns with mermaid statues, a view of the Kushavati river, and a Michelin-standard hearty lunch is what greets Clyde here. A perfect place to spend a susegad day.

Join Clyde on this tour, and be prepared for some mouth-watering food descriptions!
