GOA : Anjuna Flea Market
Operating Hours:Wednesday: 09:00 - 18:00
The Vibe:A hippie market that outlived the hippies.
Started in the late 1960s as a barter market among travellers who settled in Anjuna, it grew into the state's best-known weekly market. It runs one day a week, in season.
Stalls run in tight rows between palms down toward the sand. It is loud, hot by midday and easier once the light softens after four.

Confirm it is running before you go — some reports suggest the trading day has shifted in recent seasons.
Bargain hard; opening prices assume it.
Carry cash — many stalls do not take cards.
Come after 16:00 for cooler air and the sunset afterwards.
