I'm sure it takes them days to figure out all of the year's resvs. Give it at least a week, then I'd send back a friendly 'hoping to hear, this will be the highlight of out trip' email.

"It takes much longer than a week to get a positive response back (the "no" responses go out first). I wouldn't expect to hear anything affirmative before mid-November."

Good good, I'm hopeful for a positive response, El Bulli has been on my list of places to try for awhile. So I shot an email to them the other day and asked for a Saturday night (any Saturday night) in June or July and I'll head over to Barcelona for the weekend.

Emailed on the 14th October. To have a chance request needed to be with them 14/15/16. After that the reservations were closed. Still waiting to hear, but thinking positive. They are confirming reservations in April & May so far. I understand they work through the season in order so the later you ask for the later you will hear. Still time to get a yes.
