Cape Town as a local,2nd visit
 

Our second time to CPT and have done all the requisite sights. Looking for suggestion of off the beaten path activities. To experience the city as a local. thanks

Time of year?

Saturday market at The Biscuit Mill in Woodstock might qualify. Lots of food, as well as crafts, boutiquey shops, etc...

we'll be there end of feb'14
Did plan on visiting the Biscuit Mill. Thanks

If you are up for it, get picnic supplies from Giovanni's and climb Lions Head, lots of locals doing that on the weekend. It was challenging but we were rewarded at the top with magnificent views all the way to Robben Island while a church group was singing, very mystical.

Sounds wonderful. Are there any farmers markets or "flea" markets. Gallery tours. local walks??

Biscuit Mill on Saturdays might qualify as a farmer's/flea market, although the emphasis is on prepared food and crafts rather than fruits and vegetables fresh from the fields. Most shopping for fresh foods seems to take place at supermarkets, with Woolworths at the top of the quality/price heap with PIck and Pay a possible second.

I would love to learn of more traditional farmers markets in the area; I was not successfull at locating these on this last trip (we stayed at the marvelous Mt Nelson so did not have need for a kitchen in any case) but seems as if these markets must exist....good to know for next time..

Hout Bay used to have a flea market on Sunday mornings.

My friend visited Cape Town last month with his family. He discovers Cape Town different tastes and flavors. You can also taste the food of Ethiopia at beautiful decorated in Cape.
