Pope lands in Barcelona for second stage of Spain visit: AFP

Pope Leo XIV landed in Barcelona on Tuesday for the second leg of a visit to Spain, where he will bless the newest tower of the city's Sagrada Familia Basilica, the world's tallest church.

Leo arrived at Barcelona's El Prat airport at 12:45 (1045 GMT), after a stay in Madrid that included a huge open-air mass and an unprecedented address to the Spanish parliament.
