Caranzalem is a small town on the shore of the Arabian Sea, at the north-western end of North Goa District. Taleigoa is 3 km east and Bambolim is 8 km away. Caranzalem was regarded as the rice and vegetable bowl of Goa. The fertile land is rich in ground water as well, and has sustained cultivation of three crops annually. At present rapid building activity is destroying the natural environment of this beautiful location.
