El Caso/Barna Diario (2023) reported a night-time shooting on Carrer de Riells — several shots fired at a residential façade, no injuries, shell casings recovered. Police linked it to suspected inter-clan tension in this historically Romani neighbourhood (territorial 'marking', not an attack on bystanders), one of five such shootings in the metro area within a week. No daytime incidents or tourist-targeted crime were found. Sources checked: elcaso.elnacional.cat, 2023; barnadiario.com.

This link is already scoped to this area (not the whole city), using the neighbourhood's real coordinates.
This rating comes from a structured local-source assessment. This specific area was reviewed against credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — and the signals were consolidated across sources rather than taken from any single report, with the reasoning and the sources shown above. Barcelona publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does publish one, Wandroz uses it instead of an assessment. Where a review finds nothing documented, that is recorded as no findings rather than as a safety rating.

This comes from a structured local-source assessment: an area-level review of credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — consolidated across sources rather than taken from a single report.

Is Can Peguera safe at night?
At night, Can Peguera is rated as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Barcelona. If you're unsure, it's worth checking recent local reviews for your specific street or block, since a neighbourhood-wide rating can't capture block-by-block variation.
Is Can Peguera a good area to stay in as a tourist?
Can Peguera's day rating (an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report) is the more relevant one for typical daytime tourist activity; check the night rating too if you'll be out late. The Booking.com link on this page searches Can Peguera itself.
Is there official crime data for Can Peguera?
Not an official government crime feed — Can Peguera's rating comes from Wandroz's own current local/national press and survey research for this specific area instead (see the note on this page for what was checked and the sources used). An absence of recent negative coverage is treated as inconclusive, not as proof the area is safe. If you live in or know Can Peguera well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
