What March feels like

March is when the island turns green and the year properly wakes up. Wildflowers start in the south and creep north, walking trails dry out, and the first pavement-café afternoons arrive. The sea remains wintry and the weather can still turn, but between fronts you get luminous days made for ruins, coastal paths and quiet towns. Prices and crowds are as low as they get. In Ogliastra it means the Gulf of Orosei's boat-only coves on one side and the Supramonte's big walking country on the other.
