A participatory Christmas with local identity
During the ceremony, Blanca Hernández highlighted the good reception of this first edition of the contest, which, she said, has shown that in Ibiza “there is a lot of desire to participate and to make city”. In this sense, she stressed that “the balconies and shop windows have filled the streets with light and illusion, and this is thanks to the efforts of neighbors, neighbors and merchants”.
The third deputy mayor also valued the role of local commerce and citizen involvement, noting that “initiatives like this help to boost trade, to strengthen the sense of community and to live Christmas in a more shared and closer way”.
