The capital of Goa trance - that is what Anjuna is called, which was once famous as a mecca for hippies. It is a village whose residents move between discos and bars not on foot, but on scooters at tremendous speeds.
"A new home away from home", "our goal is to make sure that you enjoy every moment of your life", "consider us your path to happiness" - these are the short but promising slogans of the world-famous Shore Bar. It is known for its amazing night parties and presentations of new trance mixes.
In this relaxing setting, over cocktails, guests admire how the sun sinks into the Arabian Sea. Nowadays the bar has also become famous for its cuisine, which features both Indian and European dishes.
Anjuna is the liveliest party place in all of Goa. In the 70s, lovers of freedom from all over the world began flocking here: some of them were committed hippies, some practiced yoga, and some were seeking spiritual growth. All of them were united in one thing: rejecting the usual Western way of life.
People still come here for that feeling of freedom, cosmic music, irresponsibility, and the festive atmosphere. The beaches here are inconvenient, rocky, and quite small, so they are far from being the main attraction in Anjuna. The coastline here is a chain of endless cafes, beating out monotonous rhythms and luring a colorful crowd.
