What was supposed to be a temporary transformation looks to be a  permanent change. The South Spanish town Juzcar was turned entirely blue  for the latest Smurfs movie  by Sony Pictures. After 141 days blueness, the inhabitants of the small  town have voted to keep the façades of the buildings blue forever. The  reason is the enormous amount of extra tourists visiting the town and  the extra money that is being generated. Via The Pop-Up City
