Pope Leo XIV has arrived in Madrid as part of his apostolic visit to Spain. On the first day of the visit, the plan includes resting in the capital followed by participation in two separate events.
During part of the journey, León XIV left the popemobile and transferred to a closed vehicle, continuing his route towards the Nunciature. It was reported that he will have lunch there and take a short rest.

Later in the program, the Pope is expected to visit CEDIA 24 HORAS, a social project of Cáritas under the Madrid Archdiocese, at 6:00 PM. The visit will involve meeting with those working on the project and individuals receiving support from it.
In the evening, the second key stop will be Plaza de Lima, where Leo XIV will lead a prayer vigil with young people.
