So, since I knew that El Bulli starts taking reservations in “mid-october” I started researching online to try and figure out what exact date they meant by that. Interestingly, nobody seems to know. Everyone just keeps repeating the “mid-october” thing.

I did find a message board posting where the poster claimed that they had gotten a reservation by sending in their request at 12:01am Spain time on October 15th. Since that’s mid-october in the most literal sense, I deceded to go on that. I sent my request immediately after midnight spain time on October 15th.

I’ve heard they don’t get back to you with confirmations or condolences until november, so I’m just keeping my fingers crossed.
