An idyllic, misty view of Sandavágur! I was on my way to the otherworldly Trøllkonufingur! Trøllkonufingur was one of the best sights on Vágar Island and one of the highlights of my trip. But, I also enjoyed the walk to and from there! I hiked about 12 KM that entire day and it was well worth it.

Sandavágur has been voted the most well-kept village in the Faroes twice. And it's the most famous "city" in the country, and best voted traveling experience. Although, not an actual city at all - the population is only around 861! The name Sandavágur means sandy bay and refers to the sandy beach which used to be much larger than present. From one point in Sandavágur you can get a view of all the southern islands in the Faroes. And the red-roofed church seen in this photo is one of the best in the Faroe Islands! In fact, members of the Danish Royal Family were there 1 day after I was! I even saw their motorcade as they were continuing on their journey. A pretty cool experience, too ;).

I took this photo on August 25th.

"The apartment is updated and was very clean. It is spacious and allows for folks to spread out, with a couch seating area and a kitchen seating area. The kitchen had necessary amenities for light cooking or eating takeaway or making tea/coffee. Parking is easy and nearby. The check in and out processes were very easy. It is close enough to the center of town that you can easily walk to the grocery stores, some restaurants, some shops, and even the ferry. It is a great location to explore the...
