"This is a historic event for the Archipelago, which we could not remain indifferent to. At HiperDino, we are always attentive to cultural, social, and significant events taking place in the Canary Islands, adapting our stores and services to each occasion. And this papal visit, due to its historical importance, could be no less."
HiperDino will also be present at the event at the Gran Canaria Stadium on Thursday starting at 6:30 PM and at the meeting on Friday, June 12, at the Port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
