This municipal initiative aims to ensure that all citizens can participate in the historic multitudinous mass that Pope Leo XIV will officiate in the capital's port. The event, of great international significance, is expected to attract thousands of faithful, leading to high demand for transport and parking.
The measure seeks to guarantee comfortable, safe, and accessible attendance for those interested, avoiding the traffic and parking complications anticipated for that day. The Councillor for Citizen Participation emphasized that this action aims to “bring a historic event closer to the public” and ensure that residents can attend under equal conditions.

Pope Leo XIV's visit to Tenerife has become one of the most anticipated events of the year on the island. The logistics for an event of this magnitude at the Port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife require special coordination, which has prompted the Granadilla Town Council to offer this free bus service. This initiative not only facilitates the transfer of elderly people or those with reduced mobility but also promotes sustainable mobility in anticipation of massive displacements from various points of the island to the capital.
