VISIT SMURF TOWN OF THE COSTA DEL SOL!..
This quaint blue washed village is Júzcar, located between Marbella and Ronda, and has a facinating story to tell. Júzcar was a typical remote country village, popular as a weekend destination for lovers of rural tourism, hiking and climbing. The traditional Andalucian town was once white-washed, but locals agreed to the unique colour change in 2011 when approached by Sony to promote the release of The Smurfs 3D movie. The PR stunt involved painting all the houses blue, including the church and the town hall. This made Júzcar such an unexpected tourist destination that villagers voted to keep the colour. You can still spot a few of the original characters, whilst meandering through the streets of this prretty town, which is full of charm, and a delightful place to visit.
