SUSEGAD SHOT 11: How Palacio Do Deao Became a site for History and Culinary Delight
Listen now
Description
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! Brought to you by Bound, a company that helps you grow through stories.
