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. On the Coral Coast that plays out between Alghero's Catalan old town, the cliffs of Capo Caccia and the shallow lagoon at La Pelosa.
