In detail

No evidence of daytime tourist-targeted crime was found for this barri. Real press does show isolated violent incidents: a man arrested for stabbing another man in the street (Sept 2025) and a knife attack among family members inside a home (July 2026, domestic in nature). In 2020, residents formed vigilante street patrols after a spate of robberies/intimidation blamed on young people living in occupied housing, leading to a confrontation with police. These are genuine but sparse, mostly interpersonal/localized incidents. Sources checked: cronicaglobal.elespanol.com, Jun 2020; metropoliabierta.elespanol.com, Sept 2025 / Jul 2026.

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.
