Pope Leo XIV has expanded his papamobile routes in Madrid, increasing the total from four to six itineraries to allow thousands of Madrileños and pilgrims to greet him.

The Pontiff will have two new papamóvil routes during his visit to the capital, bringing the total to six. These expansions aim to enable thousands of Madrileños and pilgrims to greet the Pope and accompany him on some of the planned movements in his official schedule.
On Saturday, June 6th, following scheduled events at the Royal Palace, Leo XIV will travel through parts of the city towards the Apostolic Nunciature. The itinerary will commence at the Royal Palace and proceed through Plaza de España, Calle de la Princesa, El Corte Inglés de Princesa, the Madrid Boulevards, culminating at Plaza de Colón. Upon reaching the vicinity of Plaza de Colón, the Holy Father will disembark the papamóvil to continue in a closed vehicle.
For the afternoon of Sunday, June 7th, a journey from the Apostolic Nunciature to the Movistar Arena is planned. The Holy Father is expected to board the papamóvil on Calle de O’Donnell. The route will cover Calle de O’Donnell, Doctor Esquerdo, Calle de Goya, concluding at the Movistar Arena. This route will offer numerous faithful the chance to accompany the Successor of Peter as he arrives at the venue for one of the most anticipated encounters of his visit.
