The Local Police of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has initiated vehicle towing in various city areas, including Vegueta, Triana, and Siete Palmas, for the visit of Pope Leo XIV on June 11 and 12.

Parking restrictions, which began on Tuesday, June 10, will affect strategic neighborhoods along the security and mobility operational routes. The measure aims to ensure the smooth running of the pontifical visit and prevent incidents.
In the Hoya de la Plata area, vehicles will be towed from the Barrio Marinero esplanade, adjacent to the GC-1, towards the Port and opposite the Hospital Insular. These operations will take place from 6:00 PM on June 10 until 3:00 PM on June 11.
The most extensive operation will be in the vicinity of Triana and Vegueta, affecting streets such as Fuente, Losero, Malteses, Miguel de Cervantes, Francisco Gourié, Juan de Quesada, Pelota, Mendizábal, Mercado de Vegueta, Castillo, Doctor Chil, Alcalde Francisco Hernández, and Luis Millares. Access will also be restricted on sections of the GC-110 and the parking lot of the Hotel AC Iberia.
The Industrial Estate of Las Torres will also see restrictions on streets like Agualatente, Azuaje, Arguineguín, Arinaga, and Agaete, from 8:00 PM on June 10 until 11:59 PM on June 11.
In Siete Palmas, affected areas will include Fondos de Segura, Pintor Felo Monzón avenue, Lomo San Lázaro, the Los Olivos straight, and the Hoya de la Gallina area. These measures coincide with a large mass presided over by the pontiff at the Estadio de Gran Canaria.
The Local Police reminds drivers to remove their vehicles before the scheduled times to avoid towing by the municipal crane. It is warned that the security device's plans may be modified depending on how operations unfold.
