A jubilant crowd of Catholic faithful filled Madrid with chants, cheers and applause on Sunday as an open-air mass by Pope Leo XIV imbued the Spanish capital with religious fervour.

Miles de jóvenes llenan ya el Paseo de la Castellana desde la Plaza de San Juan de la Cruz hasta la de Lima, en un ambiente festivo y emocionado para el primer encuentro…

The crowd cheered and shouted "This is the youth of the pope!" as Pope Leo arrived for Mass at a central Madrid plaza. It's the first papal visit to Spain in 15 years.
