– From Guccianas point of view
Good day my dear friends! I must say that it really is a lovely day here in Nerja. It’s 32 degrees, with crystal clear blue skies, and such a bright light here. Let me introduce myself – I am Gucciana, the stylish bag on the top hook in Mr. and Mrs. Smith´s villa in Royal Palm. My proprietor, Mrs. Smith, hung me there so the bags below can look up to me and admire me.
It’s been yonks since I’ve been out dining. Mr. and Mrs. S have been staying in the house or by the pool after moving here. They really love it! But lately, I´ve been hearing Mrs. S complaining about not going out. They are actually discussing it right now and I can hear them talking from upstairs.
– Isn’t it about time to get out and find a nice restaurant, dear? Mrs. S says.
– Well, it´s so nice here. I can make you…
He is looking in the pantry I hear.
– …noodles. Noodles are nice.
– Or we go to a restaurant, says Mrs. S.
I know that tone.
– Or we go to a restaurant, says Mr. S. Do you know a good one?
– Yes, I’ve read about Unico. It seems to be something else.
– Unico! says Mr. S. I know Unico for sure! You must book several days in advance to get a table!
– I know that, says Mrs. S. I´ve already booked.
– But how..? says Mr. S.
– Do you know what day it is?
– Eh Saturday…?
– And our wedding day.
Silence.
– Oh, Janet…, says Mr. S. Today? Yes, how could I forget? I wouldn’t make it without you, you know that don’t you?
Mrs. S says that she knows he will never forget, it just hasn’t hit him yet. They laugh. Same thing every year. Mrs. S picks me up at six a clock and the three of us take a walk through the town of Nerja in the balmy wind. We pass narrow streets and beautiful houses on the way to Unico.
At Unico Alicia meets us and leads us to a nice table for two, three I mean. She disappears and comes back with her husband Alex. They congratulate the S couple and tell them that they have run this restaurant together since 2018. They met in London and this is their dream. Maybe that’s why the service and the whole atmosphere are so welcoming.

Mr. and Mrs. S get a menu, then an appetizer, following bread, olive oils, and water. I get the place of honor, on the table beside Mrs. S, so I can see what they eat. And everyone can see me. Mr. and Mrs. S start with a glass of Cava while studying the menu. Then Mr. and Mrs. S. has a marvelous three-course meal. You can see what they had in the window below. I wish I was able to eat. What I hear from Mr. and Mrs. S is that the taste is outstanding. When the desert arrives it says “Happy Anniversary” on the plates. How charming!
Something has happened to the S couple during their visit to Unico. They are holding hands on the way home and stop a few times to kiss. Back home I can hear them in their bedroom. My bashfulness stops me from telling anymore. What a night! More of the adventures from Mr. and Mrs. S are to come…
