Cape Town, a dynamic, modern, cosmopolitan city, is well-blessed for walkers, with Table Mountain and Lion‘s Head on its doorstep, and the rugged Cape Peninsula just a short trip away by public transport. With excellent restaurants, glorious weather most of the year, and daily flights from major airports, it makes a perfect holiday destination.This guide contains enough walks, excursions, restaurants and recipes to occupy most of two weeks, so you can chose whichever appeal to you most. The highlights at a glance:
• 12 varied day walks, each with topographical map
• 2 excursions, each providing access to some walks
• recommended restaurants linked to each walk
• recipes using the best of South African produce, to make at your self-catering base (and perhaps back home)
• special section with hints on wheat-, gluten- and dairy-free eating and cooking in Cape Town
• All the recipes have been tested by the authors and are known to ‘work’.
This pocket-sized full-colour guide, illustrated with hundreds of photographs, describes walks and recommends restaurants/hotels on or at the end of walk routes (with sample menus). Following each restaurant entry is one or more of their recipes, to be made in self-catering accommodation or at home. Other sections include: planning your trip, logistics on arrival, shopping for self-catering (including health food shops), local markets and specialities, glossary of local food terms, etc. Each book contains topographical walking maps (1:35,000) to accompany the clear walk instructions. Our unique online Update service with route-change information, users’ recommendations and any future changes to restaurant information and recommendations, is available for this new series (click on "Current Update" above).
