Pope Leo XIV lands in Spain for week-long state visit

Pope Leo XIV arrived in Madrid on Saturday for a week-long state visit to Spain -- the first by a pontiff since 2010 -- due to highlight immigration and social justice.

The papal plane landed shortly before 10:15 (0815 GMT) at Madrid's Barajas airport, where Leo was to be welcomed by King Felipe VI, Queen Letizia and Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
