All of the town's house facades and even the church were whitewashed blue for the filming of the film "The Smurfs" in 2011. In a vote towards the end of the year, residents were asked whether the houses should remain blue or should be returned to their original white condition. 33 residents voted for the color white, 141 residents for blue. This means that Júzcar will remain blue and is considered the first Smurfs' village in the world. Definitely worth a visit, is located in the middle of the mountains on a slope.

Júzcar, known as the Blue Village, is a picturesque village in the province of Málaga, famous for its blue-painted houses. This colour change was made in 2011 for the world premiere of the film "The Smurfs". Although it was initially a temporary campaign, the inhabitants decided to keep the blue colour due to the increase in tourism.

The former Smurf village still has blue houses and wall paintings, but the freestanding figures are gone. We learned from residents that Sony demanded high licensing fees and so the figures disappeared.
