This is a low-population, mostly industrial/port-adjacent barri with essentially no tourist foot traffic and no reports of street crime against pedestrians. However, press in May-June 2026 reported a cluster of fatal shootings (organized-crime/narco-trafficking related) in the adjoining Zona Franca/Marina de Port area, and given the barri's industrial character means streets are dark and deserted after dusk, a cautious night rating is warranted even though this violence is targeted (rival trafficking groups), not opportunistic crime against travellers.

Search accommodation here on Booking.com →
Booking.com has no search area for this neighbourhood, so this link searches the district it sits in — narrower than the whole city, wider than this neighbourhood alone.
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.

Is there official crime data for la Marina del Prat Vermell?
Not an official government crime feed — la Marina del Prat Vermell'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).
