Reine is the administrative centre of Moskenes Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The fishing village is located on the island of Moskenesøya in the Lofoten archipelago, above the Arctic Circle, about 300 kilometres (190 mi) southwest of the town of Tromsø. Reine Church is located here and it serves the northern part of the municipality.
The 0.28-square-kilometre (69-acre) village has a population (2018) of 314 which gives the village a population density of 1,121 inhabitants per square kilometre (2,900/sq mi). The local newspaper is the Lofotposten.
Reine has been a trading post since 1743. It was also a centre for the local fishing industry with a fleet of boats and facilities for fish processing and marketing. There was also a little light industry. In December 1941, part of Reine was burnt by the Germans in reprisal for a raid on the Lofoten Islands by British troops. Today tourism is important, and despite its remote location, many thousands of people visit annually. The village is situated on a promontory just off the European route E10 highway, which passes through the village. Reine is located immediately to the south of Sakrisoya and Hamnøya.
Allers, once the largest weekly magazine in Norway, selected Reine as the most beautiful village in Norway in the late 1970s. A photograph over Reine from the mountain Reinebringen (altitude 448 metres (1,470 ft)) has been used for the front page of several tourist brochures and books. In 1999 the painter Ingo Kühl set up a provisional studio in a rorbu and painted the view over the harbor to the mountain range. In January 2015, Reine was the site from which Coca-Cola launched Coca-Cola life in Norway, referred to by the company as "our smallest launch yet". More than half the residents of the town (around 200 out of 307) attended this open-air event despite that it was mid-winter. In 2016–2019, a stone staircase was built up to Reinebringen, which made the mountain (previously considered steep, muddy and difficult to climb) easily accessible.
A Cetáreais a system for keeping shellfish fresh. Translated as shellfish farm
History of the Cetárea.
The Cetárea of Rinlo belonged to José Vazquez Oroza. It was built in 1904 by taking advantage of a little natural cove located opposite the rock known as the "corveira de percebes" (I haven't been able to translate this but it has something to do with barnacles). It was closed by a handmade slate wall as this stone is abundant in the zone. The entrance and exit of the water was regulated by an iron lock using a mechanism similar to a tap. There were little walls built in the basin to separate the difeerent creatures.
This Cetárea is not the only one in the zone as if you take the coast road in the direction of Devesa you will find another one!
In fact I think that is the one I visited in 2013.
