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 the Sulcis-Iglesiente that means mining ghost towns, the dunes of Piscinas and the islands of Carloforte and Sant'Antioco.

What to do in Sulcis-Iglesiente in March

Tuna towns in winter

Carloforte's kitchens and the Sulcis's hearty wine country, home of Carignano, keep the south-west delicious in the quiet months.

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.
