Pope Leo XIV reflected on his apostolic journey to Spain, which took him to Madrid, Barcelona and the Canary Islands.
During the visit to the Canary Islands, the pope met hundreds of migrants at the port of Arguineguin, among them a 38-year-old father from The Gambia, in an encounter the Vatican highlighted as emblematic of his focus on the marginalized.
