San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Tenerife, Spain – Video filmed by Policía Nacional shows Pope Leo XIV arriving at the historic Plaza del Cristo in a small electric cart during a secured public procession on June 12, 2026.

The footage shows the Pope dressed in white robes seated inside the mobility vehicle as it enters the sunlit stone square. Attendants in dark suits guide and push the cart while other officials walk alongside, moving in coordinated formation through the area.

In the foreground, a Policía Nacional officer wearing a black tactical vest marked “POLICIA NACIONAL” and a beret stands with his back to the camera, observing the scene. Behind barriers, crowds gather while trees sway and traditional Canarian buildings frame the square under clear blue skies. Security personnel and officials maintain positions throughout the event.

The arrival forms part of the final day of the apostolic journey to Spain. The Plaza del Cristo appearance is described as one of the symbolic stops focused on migration, welcome, and hope.

Earlier, the Pope met migrants and aid workers at the Las Raíces reception center area, where testimonies related to the Atlantic migration route reaching the Canary Islands were heard.

Policía Nacional units ensured security and an orderly passage as the procession moved through the crowd-lined square in a carefully controlled operation.
