Júzcar is also Spain’s original and unique blue village having been used as a promotional venue starting in 2011 to launch the Sony films about the “smurfs” (Belgian cartoon characters).  The village remains blue to this day although one will now find various hues of that color.

Júzcar and the area’s local history goes back for thousands of years, stretching from pre-historic cave paintings through the traces of Phoenician visits to the long periods of Roman and Moorish periods to the latest era of Christian Spain.
