El Bulli wild goose chase

5/7/2011

Just home from holiday in Spain. On the way back to the airport we decided to have a look at the "world's best/most exclusive restaurant" El Bulli in Roses. A restaurant can be a little too exclusive, it turned out.  This one seems hellbent on bumping off a proportion of its visitors before arrival.  We headed down a sidestreet from Roses and like some horror movie as we rounded a corner it turned into a precipitious single lane mountain track with no barriers on the sides. After 10 minutes driving we decided to turn back, rather than risk lives/missing flights etc. No laybys to be found, eventually I screeched into a tiny siding, helpfully described as a "ravine" by those in the passenger seat. So I executed the world's most precise three point turn, narrowly missing a head-on collision with an oncoming car. Never did get to see the home of molecular gastronomy as it closed shortly after. But at least did not die trying.
