This is the best "machine translation" I have seen to date. The machine is 
almost human!
But debauchery on a Goan beach? I must have my head in the sand.

Machine translation from the Spanish:

25 Jul: ABC (Spain).  Lured by its idyllic beaches, hypnotic sunsets and
relaxed life, the "hippies" of the 70s descended on the former Portuguese
enclave of Goa as an oasis of fun amidst the misery that plagued India.
Wrapped by a mystical  halo, Goa is flooded each season by thousands of
'backpackers' seeking to pour into 'trance' music clubs and  'rave' parties
on the beach. Besides entertainment and debauchery, the coast of Goa also
offers secluded beaches full of coconut and palm trees,  such as Arambol
Mandrem, Agonda and Patnem, to enjoy its legendary sunsets when the sky
turns red at sunset and merges with the turquoise blue sea . ayurvedic
massages  are available at quite affordable prices .

Folks,

Given the prominence to the Frederick Noronha's name in the article  I
assumed that he was the author and attributed the unusual sentiments
expressed to mis-translations.  I now understand that FN only supplied the
photograph.
