Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez will accompany Pope Leo XIV during a visit to Arguineguín Port, where the Pope will meet with migrants. The visit is expected to attract major international media coverage, with more than 3,000 journalists on the island.

Traffic disruptions in Gran Canaria will be most severe on Thursday, June 11, with closures affecting the GC-1, GC-500, and GC-3, the Pope’s transfer from Gando Airport to Arguineguín. During this period, access ramps to the highway will also be temporarily closed.
