You can work together even if you don't think alike\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a statement issued on February 25, the Vatican press office also said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vaticannews.va\/es\/papa\/news\/2026-02\/africa-espana-monaco-tras-el-jubileo-papa-leon-viaje-apostolico.html\">confirmed<\/a> other papal visits, including to Monaco, Algeria, Cameroon, Angola and Equatorial Guinea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/YagoDelaCierva-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-58915\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/YagoDelaCierva-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/YagoDelaCierva-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/YagoDelaCierva-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/YagoDelaCierva-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/YagoDelaCierva-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/YagoDelaCierva-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/YagoDelaCierva.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Yago de la Cierva, general coordinator of Pope Leo XIV's visit to Spain, June 6-12, 2026 (OSV News\/courtesy of Yago de la Cierva).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Logistical challenges<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said the program for the June 6-12 trip \u201cwill be announced in due course,\u201d the destination cities (Madrid, Barcelona and the Canary Islands) were first confirmed in January by Cardinal Jose Cobo of Madrid, who, along with a delegation of Spanish bishops, met with the Secretariat of State to discuss initial plans for the visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last time a pope visited Spain was in 2011, when Pope Benedict XVI traveled to Madrid for World Youth Day, where he presided over the final mass attended by more than one million young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"671\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PapaBenedictoXVIEspana-1024x671.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-58919\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PapaBenedictoXVIEspana-1024x671.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PapaBenedictoXVIEspana-700x458.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PapaBenedictoXVIEspana-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PapaBenedictoXVIEspana-768x503.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PapaBenedictoXVIEspana-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PapaBenedictoXVIEspana-600x393.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PapaBenedictoXVIEspana.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Young people greet Pope Benedict XVI as he leaves in his popemobile at the conclusion of the Stations of the Cross during World Youth Day 2011 in downtown Madrid (CNS Photo\/Paul Haring).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">De la Cierva noted that the preparation period for Pope Leo's visit is dramatically shorter, at just over three months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main difficulty is that, for World Youth Day, you normally have two years to prepare for the trip. And this time there are only 100 days left (at the time of the interview), which (means) that everything is much more complicated,\u00bb he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the logistical obstacles, De la Cierva praised the cooperation of civil servants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAfter contacting the local authorities, the mayor..., the Community of Madrid, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it has been a full collaboration,\u201d he told OSV News, expressing his hope that the visit \u201cwill also be a manifestation of teamwork.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Madrid, an attraction for Catholics from all over Spain<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Madrid, he said, is expected to attract Catholics from all over Spain because of its accessibility and central location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe told all the dioceses in the country that they are welcome,\u201d De la Cierva noted. While travel to the Canary Islands or Barcelona may be more difficult, \u201cI think Madrid will be a place where a lot of people will come from all over the country and attend the events.\u201d \u201cIt would be a really joyful gathering,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Bernab\u00e9u, insufficient for a vigil, but perhaps for another papal event<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initially, the iconic Bernabeu soccer stadium was to host a youth vigil, but organizers say its capacity of 85,000 is insufficient for the 300,000 young people expected, as they are working with local authorities to find a larger space. However, the Bernabeu could be used for another papal event, they told OSV News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">De la Cierva confirmed to OSV News that a Vatican delegation arrives in Madrid on Monday and will visit \u201cplaces where the local bishops have asked the Pope to meet with the people.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SagradaFamilia2-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-58920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SagradaFamilia2-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SagradaFamilia2-1-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SagradaFamilia2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SagradaFamilia2-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SagradaFamilia2-1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SagradaFamilia2-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SagradaFamilia2-1.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pope Leo XIV will visit Barcelona in June 2026 to commemorate the centenary of the death of the iconic architect of the Sagrada Familia, Servant of God Antoni Gaudi (Photo by OSV News\/Albert Gea, Reuters).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A historic moment in Barcelona<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pope is expected to commemorate on June 10 the 100th anniversary of the death of Antoni Gaudi, the legendary architect of one of the world's most iconic churches, the Basilica of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The upper arm of the cross at the top of the tower of Jesus Christ was installed on February 20. At more than 564 feet tall, the tower makes the basilica the tallest Catholic church in the world, surpassing the 518-foot Basilica of Our Lady of Peace in Yamoussoukro, Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also surpasses the 530-foot Ulmer M\u00fcnster Lutheran Church in Germany, making it the tallest church of any denomination in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SagradaFamilia3-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-58917\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SagradaFamilia3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SagradaFamilia3-525x700.jpg 525w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SagradaFamilia3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SagradaFamilia3-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SagradaFamilia3-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SagradaFamilia3.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Workers place the upper arm on the cross atop the tower of Jesus Christ, the tallest tower of the Basilica of the Sagrada Familia, in Barcelona, Spain, on February 20, 2026 (Photo by OSV News\/courtesy of Sagrada Familia Twitter).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sagrada Familia, Gaudi's masterpiece<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The basilica was begun in 1882 and is considered a masterpiece of Gaudi, a Catholic whose cause for sainthood is ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the basilica faced numerous delays and challenges in its construction that lasted more than 140 years, including the Spanish Civil War and the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the main building is expected to be completed in 2026, coinciding with the centenary of Gaud\u00ed's death, work on the statues and other areas of the basilica is expected to continue until 2034.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">De la Cierva told OSV News that the presence of Pope Leo would be a key event that would represent a closing of the circle moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think that would be one of the main events of the trip to Spain because the altar was blessed by Pope Benedict XVI in 2010. And this is like the closing of the circle with this magnificent basilica,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In the footsteps of Pope Francis<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another key moment, according to De la Cierva, would be Pope Leo's visit to the Canary Islands, a trip that his predecessor, Pope Francis, had wanted to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The archipelago, geographically located in Africa, is the destination every year for thousands of sub-Saharan migrants seeking a better future. They arrive in precarious and fragile boats called \u201ccayucos\u201d, and many die on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pope Leo, he said, continues \u201cthe legacy of Pope Francis,\u201d who, he said, had \u201cexpressed his desire to go there because he has been at the center of an important element in immigration.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think Pope Leo is trying to continue the path of Pope Francis when he made his historic trip to Lampedusa,\u201d de la Cierva said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Treating people as human beings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this is probably his intention, to put to Europe the need to be a welcoming society that accepts people as human beings and not as a threat. That we should treat each of them as people, not as a threat, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think that's why the Pope is visiting the Canary Islands for the first time in history,\u201d he said, adding that \u201ceveryone\u201d in Spain is \u201cvery happy\u201d with the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe had been waiting 15 years for a papal visit. And for a Catholic country that's a lot,\u201d he said, emphasizing that many generous donors are willing to support the trip, financed entirely by \u201cthe Church, the faithful and people of good will.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"843\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SanJuanPabloIIEspana-843x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-58921\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SanJuanPabloIIEspana-843x1024.jpg 843w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SanJuanPabloIIEspana-576x700.jpg 576w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SanJuanPabloIIEspana-247x300.jpg 247w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SanJuanPabloIIEspana-768x933.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SanJuanPabloIIEspana-10x12.jpg 10w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SanJuanPabloIIEspana-600x729.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SanJuanPabloIIEspana.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 843px) 100vw, 843px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">St. John Paul II distributes Communion to a young woman during World Youth Day at Monte do Gozo, near Santiago de Compostela, Spain, in August 1989 (Photo OSV News\/L'Osservatore Romano, Arturo Mari).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>St. John Paul II, 5 times, and Pope Benedict, three times.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">St. John Paul II visited Spain five times, including the emblematic World Youth Day in Santiago de Compostela in 1989.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pope Benedict XVI came to Spain three times: in 2006, for the World Meeting of Families in Valencia.
