Velsao

Apart from the islands off Vasco, the other place worth a visit is the Chapel of Three Kings atop a hill at the nearby village of Velsao (15 km). Apart from the serenity and the view, the sunset is really spectacular here.

The chapel is the site of the rare Feast of Three Kings, celebrated on 6 January (after the 12th night of Christmas) at Cansaulim with a pageantry procession of the three kings who traverse the village on horseback from the church on a hilltop. A fair is also held at the church grounds.

Velsao feature tempting beachfront cafes, beach shacks and small restaurants offering exotic drinks and delicious local seafood and fish curries; superb spots to enjoy fabulous Velsao sunsets.
