To outsiders, this year-end coastal city looks like a beautiful postcard.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I come from the Philippines, but I feel at home here, it&#8217;s so beautiful and warm. It looks like a postcard. I didn&#8217;t expect it to be such a wonderful place.<\/p>\n<p>I am here for work and in May of the coming year my contract ends, but I am considering coming to live for at least 5 years in Durr\u00ebs. I was thinking about it while I was walking here, maybe it&#8217;s the effect of this December that looks so magical&#8221;, said the citizen from the Philippines.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are from Italy, but we have been living in Durr\u00ebs since March. We had the opportunity to see the decorated city in January, but this year-end it is much more beautiful, especially the town hall building, it is more illuminated.<\/p>\n<p>Where we come from, they have invested a lot with lights and skating rinks, but they are very commercial. It&#8217;s very nice here, we fell in love with your city. You have done a good job&#8221;, said the Italian.<\/p>\n<p>The residents of Durr\u00ebs are also satisfied, but note that the decor looks similar to that of previous years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s really beautiful, but it&#8217;s the same thing that repeats itself every year,&#8221; said the citizen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Not that there is any big change over the years, it is here and there, but it seems good to us. Let&#8217;s not forget the past, when we used to decorate the windows with cotton and stick them with saliva&#8221;, said the citizen.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the &#8220;tradition&#8221; of the past years, this year-end the lights were turned on without any &#8220;official&#8221; ceremony or party in the square, but this did not dampen the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Durr\u00ebs turned on the lights of the end of the year holidays on Wednesday evening.
