Evaluation of Tortolì and Orrì

Tortolì is located in the eastern part of Sardinia and even if many think that the north of the island is only the Costa Smeralda in reality this area is very vast and is perhaps even more authentic, there are no mega resorts or luxury yachts but campsites, villages, free beaches and a simpler and more true tourism.

During my two months in Sardinia I met many people, Italian families especially from northern Italy but also foreign tourists from Northern Europe, usually in campers or tents, some in mobile homes or bungalows, in short, a holiday of freedom and nature.

The experience as an animator allowed me to see the territory with different eyes, wake up every day with the sound of the sea, spend the days between activities, games, laughter and evenings in the amphitheater, but also enjoy free time to explore, to be alone and to enjoy the beaches of Orrì which are still among the most beautiful I have ever seen.

Orrì is a small paradise made of light sand and transparent sea, a long, free, poorly equipped beach and precisely for this reason perfect for those looking for tranquility and for those who want to get away from the confusion and maybe spend hours under the umbrella without hearing music fired or in the presence of street vendors who pass in front of you every five minutes.

Unlike the south of Sardinia and cities like Cagliari here everything is quieter and less urbanized, Tortolì is a country not a big city and this has advantages and also disadvantages for example in August the telephone network often goes into crisis, the internet struggles to work and sometimes it is impossible to even send a message.

Maybe that's the beauty, because when you're there you realize that disconnecting is exactly what you needed, walking on the beach without shoes, swimming at sunset, going out for a walk in the evening or... going to a disco.

Already because even if we are not in Costa Smeralda here summer is alive, there are clubs with music, events and if you want to have fun there is no shortage of opportunities, but all in a less built, less commercial and definitely more human context.

If you are looking for a holiday that combines the sea, real nature, a pinch of social life and maybe even the opportunity to slow down and breathe deeply then Tortolì and the Orrì area can be a discovery that you don't expect.

If you want to know more about what happened during my season as an animator then I suggest you read the dedicated article, there were really "special" moments, I also dedicated a chapter of my book to such experiences namely "The manual of the rebellious animator" in my writing "The Diary of unspoken things".
