What February feels like

February belongs to carnival. Mamoiada's sheepskin-clad Mamuthones stalk the streets, Oristano runs the horseback Sa Sartiglia, and half the island's villages stage something strange and wonderful. The weather swings between crisp blue days and proper Atlantic-style fronts, mimosa and almond trees flower, and the mountains often carry snow. Visit for folklore and food rather than the beach. Around Cagliari and the Campidano the capital anchors everything, with Poetto's long beach and the south coast an easy reach away.
