Transit
Allow additional travel time for journeys that use Rodalies or the affected L9/L10 sections; consider bus or tram alternatives where possible.
Rodalies is operating with many temporary speed restrictions and L9/L10 works are altering local road and metro operations during Semana Santa.
Crime
On the Metro, keep to better-populated carriages, sit near staff areas when possible, and report harassment immediately to police or station personnel.
There are recent arrests and a judicial ban related to repeated exhibitionism and groping incidents on the Metro.
Public area avoidance
Avoid the port perimeter and waterfront points near Pont d'Europa while emergency operations are active; expect access restrictions and local air-quality or visibility issues if smoke is present.
A recent container and truck fire at the Port of Barcelona produced a large smoke column and prompted closure of the affected zone until extinguished.
