Among the five dioceses that make up the itinerary, Leo XIV will travel approximately 2,500 kilometers during the six days of the trip, from Madrid to Barcelona and from Barcelona to Gran Canary Island and Tenerife. All the stages share three axes: charity, expressed in meetings with social assistance and reception organizations; the Eucharist, which will be the focus of each stage of the itinerary; and encounters with young people, civil society, and local Churches.
