Papal visit expected to cost €1.5 million

The upcoming visit of Pope Leo XIV to Spain will cost around 1.5 million euros, according to organisers, with all public events free of charge. Some activities will require prior registration due to limited capacity, and tickets will be nominative.

The visit, which includes stops in Madrid and Valencia, is expected to draw large crowds, and local authorities are preparing security and mobility plans to manage the influx of participants.
