Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain – Video filmed by Guardia Civil shows large crowds beginning to arrive at the port pier where Pope Leo XIV will celebrate Mass, as thousands of attendees move into the venue on June 12, 2026.

From the access checkpoint, people can be seen walking steadily through controlled entry points, carrying bags and wearing hats as they approach the large open-air area. Attendees pass through metal barriers and temporary scaffolding while moving toward the main event space.

The footage captures a steady flow of visitors entering the site, with groups and individuals making their way through the screening area. A blue sign reading “Salida / Exit Sector 3” appears above the walkway as people continue to file into the port.

In the background, modern buildings, trees, and clear blue skies frame the scene as the gathering grows. The port area becomes increasingly busy as more attendees arrive ahead of the religious ceremony.

The event is the papal Mass at the port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, marking the closing moment of Pope Leo XIV’s apostolic journey to Spain. Thousands of faithful are expected to attend the outdoor celebration.

Around 800 Guardia Civil personnel are deployed across the site to manage access and ensure order during the large-scale gathering.

The operation includes crowd management and protection of the ceremonial areas as the venue fills with attendees from across the region.
