Throughout the year, you will be inebriated by the events that have been handed down over the centuries. The enchantment of the traditions begins in January with Fireworks celebrating Saint Anthony, bringing to life dozens of communities in the heart of the Island. In February, there are the compelling and mysterious celebrations of the Carnivals: every village has its own special events and masks. Not to be missed are the acrobatic exhibitions on two or three horses at a time, known as the “Pariglia” during the Sartiglia in Oristano, the ancestral dances of Mamuthones in Mamoiada and Merdules in Ottana, as well as the allegorical festivities in Bosa and the Tempio Pausania, where people live for the festivities all year round. At Easter, the passion of the Holy Week rituals lives again in numerous towns and villages, each with its own special characteristics. These are particularly famous in Aggius, Alghero, Castelsardo, Iglesias and Oliena.
