What October feels like

October is two seasons in one. Early in the month you can still swim on the right afternoon; by the end, the first big rains have greened the island and the season has visibly turned. This is when Autunno in Barbagia opens village courtyards across the mountains, chestnuts and new wine appear, and walking weather returns in full. Pack layers and an appetite. In Gallura that means granite coves and the Costa Smeralda, with La Maddalena's islands offshore and the Vermentino hills behind.
