Aluche shows a recurring pattern of theft-related press coverage: waves of burglaries and small-business robberies reported in 2020 and 2021, and a March 2024 report of arrests of a gang responsible for multiple flat break-ins including in Aluche. The documented concern is moderate and centred on property crime rather than a no-go reputation. Sources checked: Telemadrid, Dec 2020 & May 2021; Gacetin Madrid, Mar 2024.

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. Madrid 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.
Frequently asked questions
Is Aluche safe?
Wandroz currently rates Aluche in Madrid as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Madrid, both by day and after dark. 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. Madrid publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does, Wandroz uses it instead.
Is Aluche safe at night?
At night, Aluche is rated as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Madrid. 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 Aluche a good area to stay in as a tourist?
Aluche's day rating (roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Madrid) 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 Aluche itself.
Is there official crime data for Aluche?
Not an official government crime feed — Aluche'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 Aluche well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
