Ingo finally got his act together this saturday and opened 13 kms from Calangute in a place called Siolim. You pass the bridge at Siolim and its just ahead to the left. Ample parking space and no traffic jams which surprised me a lot , so did the number of cars in the parking lot ; numbering over 500.
I actually got stuck on the road leading to Mackies and did a U turn and headed to Ingo's expecting to see no market or possibly no crowd. The location is bigger , better and has a more "artisan" look to it this year. But the distance factor will discourage a lot of people with taxi's quoting 500-700 Rs for a return trip it might be a little dear on the pocket.
All and all a stress free evening for me and worth looking at though I think i might just camp at Mackies on Saturday ( closer to home )
Thanks for the info,the Saturday night bazzar has (and will always be)a great night out,glad it's up and running.Siolim is a bit far out, but worth the trip. As for the taxi fare... well worth it in my mind.I think when we go we will make plans to travel up the coast on the Sat morning,and check in somewhere for the night and then onto Ingos and back to Candolim Sunday.
My sources have told methat Ingo's market was good on Saturday night, however it will notbe open this Saturday night because there is a religious festival at the temple in the grounds (10th December). It will re-start on the 17th.
We didn't find out that Ingos was open this Saturday until Sunday morning! Yes, Shermina is right..its not on this week because of a festival but is open the following week!
More trouble for Ingos Will it ever get going this year Alan
Not if this keeps happening gramps... doesn't sound good does it?
Lots of problems... Hundreds of people setting of fireworks, setting fire to things and throwing stones to try and stop the Ingo market....
Doesn`t sound good at all, why was it moved in the first place ?
I think it was moved in the first place as it was just so damn busy on the road each saturday night OR they kept putting the rent up (as far as I'm aware he rented the land)... Other than that I don't know... One of our volunteers was supposed to be having a stall there but each week she says it's on then each week her head is in her hands going 'Arrgghhh', we have an official 'Scream Room' at the Mango house for such times
Ingo is now back to the original spot at Arpora. It may be 31st and 1st night market just to kick off his return
You never know there might be huge protests there too... It's such a drama this year, one of our poor volunteers has bought a stall there and each week she keeps saying... It's on this week... Oh, it's been cancelled...
Would love to see the market back in Arpora... its so close to me ; will just have to wait and see if it kicks off smoothly .
Anyone got any updates on if it's going ahead and if so where. We,ve enjoyed it on our last few visits and are back again in a couple of weeks so heres hoping. I'm not too concerned about Igno as I'm sure he has a bob or too put by and he wo'nt starve but we know several local people who have stalls there and will be struggling with the lost income since the season started How is Mackies market doing? We visited it early in November but although it had taken place the week before, when we went, it just was'nt on, but nobody could tell us why Alan
just got back and whilst at Mackies market on saturday night were told that Ingos was on too. We didnt bother going cos we enjoyed Mackies the week before too, when Ingos wasnt on, but Ingo seems to have irritated a lot of people as we heard nothing but negative reports about the man.
Yes Ingo is back in his original place. Cant really say much about the man but its been a lot of negative publicity. Havent seen Mackies this season as i cant get the car past Marinha Dourado !!
