Paarl:
the Paarl valley is
dominated by the Paarl Mountain. The Khoi (Bushman) people called this
imposing granite head the 'Turtle Mountain' and the first colonists named
the mountain 'Pearl Mountain' because of the glistering granite after a rain
shower. The largest city in the Cape Winelands played a significant role in
the development of the Afrikaans language. Main attractions are the Language
Monument, the Paarl Mountain Nature Reserve, KWV Cathedral Cellars and the
Nederburg Wine Estate, known for its largest wine auction in the country.
