Cod fishing<\/strong><\/a> has been the lifeblood of the Lofoten Islands<\/strong> for over 1,000 years. Life in the region revolves around fish, from the migrations, between January and April, its trade, and the celebrations that go with it, such as the Lofotfisket<\/strong>, one of the oldest marine traditions in Europe.<\/p>\n

The rorbuer<\/em>, traditional fishermen\u2019s cabins<\/h3>\n

Fishing shaped life in the Lofoten Islands, and the traditional stilt cabins by the water<\/strong>, rorbuer<\/em><\/strong> in Norwegian, are its enduring symbol. Once built to house seasonal fishermen who returned to other lands for the rest of the year, some now welcome travellers looking for an authentic escape, encompassing the local way of life.<\/p>\n

Red, the region\u2019s signature colour<\/h3>\n

The typical houses dotted across the Lofoten Islands come in very few colours; they mostly feature red wooden fa\u00e7ades<\/strong>, and just occasionally orange. The red pigments<\/strong> were known to be more affordable and more resistant to the cold and harsh weather<\/strong>. Today, red still brings a magical touch to the landscape, contrasting beautifully with the black and white tones, and perfectly reflecting the warmth and hospitality of the locals.<\/p>\n
