The Faroe Islands are undiscovered islands, lying between Scotland and Iceland. For centuries a territory belonging to Denmark, this archipelago has always lived by relying on its traditions, and still does today. Sheep, wool, fishing and music are just some of the key pieces to understanding the puzzle that is the Faroes. Those who know them love them for their landscapes and unspoiled nature, or hate them for the infamous local whaling. The Faroes, however, are more than just that.
