Daniel Dí­az is a Madrileño taxi driver who comes home every night to write about the people he’s met in his cab during a day cruising the capital. The result, Ni libre ni ocupado, is a selection of anecdotes amusing enough to win him the prestigiuos 20minutos.com 2006 blogger of the year award.

The archives and original blog are here, though Daniel now blogs exclusively in a new space at 20minutos.com: blogs.20minutos.es/nilibreniocupado. It’s great fun, and undoubtedly good for your Spanish (warning, the language gets quite “colourful” at times!)
