What November feels like

November is the island's quiet, rainy heart, and its most underrated eating month. The olive harvest brings peppery new oil, wild mushrooms fill menus, and the interior does its best hearth-and-red-wine impression. Between fronts come still, washed-clean days that are superb for empty beaches and hill towns. Come for food, culture and solitude, not for sunbathing.

Eat like a local

Festivals and folklore
