I know that you said it's a boring town, but looking at your photos, it doesn't look like that... Also, I see in one photo that there are some nice forests and hills around the town... At least nature never disappoints... :)
I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project which will be highlighted in the next post!
@ph1102 you're right, however the proximity to the border here makes natural areas effectively cartel areas... So I wouldn't venture too deep to the bush here. However who knows - it might be all just propaganda and it is actually safe.
