Granadilla de Abona Launches Free Bus Service for Pope’s Visit to Tenerife
The Granadilla de Abona City Council is launching a free bus service and reservation system to help residents travel to Santa Cruz de Tenerife for Pope Leo XIV’s upcoming Mass on June 12.
The Canary Islands are preparing for a major logistical challenge as Tenerife gets ready for the Pope’s upcoming visit. To help residents travel to Santa Cruz de Tenerife for the Mass led by Pope Leo XIV on June 12, the Granadilla de Abona City Council has launched a special transport plan.
Coordinated by the Department of Citizen Participation, led by Adaisy Arias, the plan aims to manage the expected surge in crowds. To make travel easier and encourage residents to attend this significant international event, the local government will provide free bus services.
While the service is free, its success depends on careful planning. Municipal experts are currently finalizing routes, trip schedules, and pickup locations. The City Council also plans to introduce a reservation system to manage demand, with details on how to register to be released soon via official channels. This initiative highlights the local government's commitment to helping residents participate in major events that bring the community together.
