No incident was found that press coverage places squarely inside Quintana itself, but the barrio sits directly adjacent to the documented Pueblo Nuevo gang-conflict zone, and is part of a district-wide 'uptick in insecurity' described in March 2024 coverage. Given proximity to well-documented gang activity but no incident specifically pinned to Quintana's interior, a moderate rating is warranted mainly for night-time. Sources checked: El Debate, 1 Mar 2024 (district-wide insecurity); El Espanol, 29 Oct 2024 (adjacent gang conflict).

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. 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 Quintana safe?
Wandroz currently rates Quintana in Madrid as an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report during the day and roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Madrid 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. Madrid publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does, Wandroz uses it instead.
Is Quintana safe at night?
At night, Quintana 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 Quintana a good area to stay in as a tourist?
Quintana'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. Note that the Booking.com link on this page searches Ciudad Lineal, not Quintana specifically: Booking does not list this neighbourhood as a destination of its own, so check each property's address against the map above.
Is there official crime data for Quintana?
Not an official government crime feed — Quintana'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 Quintana well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
