About The Spice Route Destination
The story begins centuries ago when the Cape Route from Europe to the Indian Ocean via the Cape of Good Hope was pioneered by the Portuguese explorer navigator Vasco da Gama in 1498. Settlers in the Cape who loved exploring new exotic flavours and experiences had to wait for the seasonal return of the traders travelling the Spice Route.
