In detail

Searches specific to Canillejas barrio (as distinct from the district-wide 'San Blas-Canillejas' name and from the heavily-covered Parque Paraiso/Simancas cluster) did not surface an incident clearly located within Canillejas' own historic core. A district-wide May 2026 headline describes San Blas-Canillejas overall as having had 130 stabbings and 2 deaths reported in recent years, but this figure applies to the district as a whole -- concentrated, per the more granular reporting above, around Simancas, Amposta and Rejas -- rather than being specific evidence for the Canillejas barrio itself. Sources checked: El Espanol, 9 May 2026 (district-wide 'narcobarrio' headline, not Canillejas-specific); No incident found specifically located within Canillejas' own barrio boundary.

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 Canillejas safe?

Wandroz currently rates Canillejas in Madrid as an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report, 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 Canillejas safe at night?

At night, Canillejas is rated as an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report. 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 Canillejas a good area to stay in as a tourist?

Canillejas'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 Canillejas itself.

Is there official crime data for Canillejas?

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