. have things changed much?
No not really, a few shacks got moved around last season, normally only by a couple of places but TGI got pushed right down the beach and did not want to move that far.
There is a lifeguard station where TGI and Antoine's was, so TGI squeezed in between two nearby shacks but they got a lot of hassle from them and the police pulled down their shack a few times while they awaited a court ruling, in the end they decided it was better to move and get established in the new site rather than suffer the hassle.
We live near Mapusa and have known Martin since he worked at Boscos, normally call in a least once a week if we are near Baga. Not so easy to get to now as we have to find somewhere to park the car and walk down the beach but still worth while for inexpensive good quality food and a laugh with the lads.
