economic place to stay for backpakers”

Good place near the beach but if you come from madgao railway station or airport transport cost is very high. Which common on goa for any location. I suggest come out east side of madgao railway station, come on main road (2200-400 meter far) >find a bus to madgao bus terminal > panjim >calangute. Three of three means of transport are costly Auto Rixa(tuk tuk) , taxes, pilots. Pilots=bikers take you too ur destination.only one person with me less luggage/backpack. You will enjoy stay
