Description
Set along the cliffs between mountain and sea, Hermanus is one of the most
popular holiday and travel destinations in South Africa. Initially it was the
abundance of fish in Walker Bay, along which the village rapidly grew, that
attracted holidaymakers. Today, the stars of the bay are undoubtedly the
Southern Right Whales that migrate from Antarctica to mate and calve here
during the winter months.
But it is not only the wonders of the sea that draw thousands of visitors
to this picturesque village and surrounds year after year. Mountains, fynbos,
culture, arts, crafts, country markets, adventure sports, scenic walks, golf courses,
nature reserves, shark-cage diving, historical landmarks, and the vineyards
and world-class wines of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley are richly described and
illustrated in this lavish volume.
With chapters covering all aspects of the town’s diversity, the reader will learn
more about all that is so generously on offer here, and also catch a rare glimpse
of the heart that drives the town: the people and communities that have shaped
this favoured destination.
An earlier edition of Hermanus appeared in 2008. Now republished as a new
title, the book features entirely rewritten text and fresh photographs throughout,
many commissioned especially for this edition.
