Tenerife, Spain – Video filmed by Guardia Civil shows Pope Leo XIV arriving at Tenerife Norte-Los Rodeos International Airport under a coordinated security operation involving Guardia Civil units during a formal airport reception.

The footage captures the pontiff in white robes standing near a red carpet area, surrounded by officials in suits and security personnel. A gray SUV is positioned nearby, while an Iberia Airbus aircraft with a red-and-yellow tail fin is visible in the background on the tarmac.

In the foreground, Guardia Civil officers wearing dark green vests with bright yellow lettering are seen maintaining a controlled perimeter. Some stand with hands behind their backs while observing the arrival scene, as other uniformed officers and civilians move through the area during preparations for the papal departure.

The arrival took place on June 12, 2026, marking the final stage of Pope Leo XIV’s apostolic journey in Spain. His visit included stops in Madrid, Barcelona, and Gran Canaria before reaching Tenerife.

During the trip, the pontiff met with migrants at the Las Raíces reception center and later held a closing Mass at the port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife ahead of his return to Rome.

The presence of the Civil Guard highlights the security measures in place for the papal visit, with coordinated protection provided throughout the official itinerary and airport transfer operation.
