Juzcar

Juzcar, a village of white houses, is located two hours from Malaga Airport. a white community, of which there are many in southern Spain.
The village used to draw some tourists, but other places like Mijas, with its lovely geraniums hanging on the facades, used to draw a lot more. The film crew painted every home in the village of Juzcar blue before filming "The Smurfs," with the intention of repainting them all white after the shoot was finished.
The locals soon realized that being the only blue village in the middle of a region full of white villages was intriguing and would draw more tourists.
