A useful information about Tortolì is certainly an indication to get there: Coming from the sea or by air, port and airport will welcome you, while coming by car from Nuoro (which is exactly 78 kilometers) just along the road Nuoro-Lanisei for about 70 km and turn left Villagrande Strisaili. However Tortolì is reported because of the many services it offers.

The religious patron of the town is Sant 'Andrea Apostolo, and the party in his honor is celebrated annually on 30 November, in honor of his death in Patras in the year 60 AD.

In Cape Bellavista is a second church dedicated to St. Lussorio this time.

During the celebrations of the festival here, held the ceremony "Simbidu" which would be a kind of auction where the bidder can drive an ox-cart bearing the statue of the saint.

Other historical curiosities are linked to particular laws and contests emanating years ago in this small country: for example in 1851 is set up a reward to anyone who kills sparrows, even in 1869 the population is obliged and paid to kill locusts.
