„Wir waren Anfang April für 5 Tage in CASARITA und haben uns sehr gut erholt! Wir waren schön wandern und spazieren und haben die Frühlingssonne genossen.  Die Zimmer sind gemütlich und Madita hat in dem Babybett sehr gut geschlafen."

Júzcar – the blue village
Samstag, den 05. November 2011 um 07:00 Uhr
 

I guess everybody has heard about the village of Júzcar near Ronda having been painted blue for a promotional film about the Smurfs. Now the village, re-christened Pueblo Pitufo (Pitufo = Smurf in Spanish), is about to have a referendum to decide whether to leave the place blue or return it to white.

The village has been inundated with sightseers ever since it was repainted in an azure colour in the summer. Business is booming and tills are ringing. But are all the villagers happy about that? Has their peaceful rural idyll been spoiled?
