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. In the Oristanese and Sinis it is lagoons and flamingos, quartz-sand beaches and the Phoenician ruins of Tharros.

What to do in Oristanese & Sinis in February

Bosa and bottarga

Pastel houses stacked over the Temo river, Malvasia wine and Cabras bottarga: the Oristanese does winter flavour better than anywhere.

Museums and culture

Rainy-day insurance: archaeology museums, galleries and historic quarters that reward a slow indoor afternoon.

Eat like a local

Winter is the season of long lunches: roast suckling pig, fresh pasta, new olive oil and big island reds.

Festivals and folklore

Sardinia's most atmospheric traditions happen off-season, from carnival masks to village saints' days and bonfires.

Wine country

Cellar doors are quiet and winemakers have time to talk: the best months for Cannonau and Vermentino tastings.
