On June 11, Mogán Town Council will launch a security and traffic plan for Pope Leo XIV’s visit to Arguineguín Port.

Visitors who need parking should use upper Arguineguín.

Coordinated for months by the Local Police with the Civil Guard, Canary Islands Police, Civil Protection, health services, and municipal staff, the operation will deploy over 300 personnel and impose major traffic and parking restrictions across town.

Mayor Onalia Bueno and acting Local Police Chief Marcos Domínguez outlined the measures to ensure security during what they called a historic event.

Bueno asked for public understanding and stressed that Wharf access will be limited to accredited guests, mainly migrant families and professionals and organizations assisting migrants. No invitation means no access to the port area.

The mayor said residents and visitors will still be able to walk through much of lower Arguineguín, though some areas, including Manuel Álamo Suárez Avenue (Muelle Avenue), will be fully closed.

She also urged people to avoid unnecessary travel and follow security staff instructions.

To follow the event, the City Council will install three giant screens: one in Las Marañuelas Square and two along the pedestrian walkway on Miguel Marrero Rodríguez Avenue.
