In 2011, along with Atilano González — who he met in 2003 at the Berlin Film Festival — Daniel opened a tapas bar called Bar Raval (named after Barcelona's Raval district). He considers Bar Raval a second home, saying in an interview that, "When I came to live in Berlin, I didn't know any Spaniards I could speak with, and only spoke the language with my family. But in the bar I can speak Spanish and immerse myself in Spanish culture – eating, drinking, speaking, reading, and watching 'la liga'."
