Arpora is a coastal village close to the North Goa beach belt.
Role in the traditional salt industry
Traditionally, it has been a coastal village, known for its traditional salt-making industry. This aspect of the village has been studied in a book, As Dear As Salt, which studies four traditional salt-making villages of Goa (including Arpora).[1]
Night market
In recent times, it is more known for its night market, "The Saturday Night Market". This is open during the fair-weather tourist season (around September to March). Items sold range from musical mouth harps or varieties of food.[2][3] It also has live musical performances.[4]
History
Arpora is known for St Joseph's, a school that was the first in Goa to offer education in the English language. It was set up by William Robert Lyons, a British priest who inculcated sports into the curriculum, introducing Goans to football in 1883.[5]
