el Carmel — Barcelona, Spain

Wandroz currently rates el Carmel in Barcelona as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Barcelona during the day and an area where the data suggests extra caution relative to other neighbourhoods in Barcelona at night. 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. Barcelona publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does, Wandroz uses it instead.

At night, el Carmel is rated as an area where the data suggests extra caution relative 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.

el Carmel's day rating (roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Barcelona) is the more relevant one for typical daytime tourist activity; check the night rating too if you'll be out late. Note that the Booking.com link on this page searches Horta-Guinardó, not el Carmel specifically: Booking does not list this neighbourhood as a destination of its own, so check each property's address against the map above.

Not an official government crime feed — el Carmel'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 el Carmel well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
