On June 11, Pope Leo XIV's visit to the Canary Islands will draw hundreds of thousands of pilgrims and onlookers, compelling local governments across Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to rethink how people move through finite urban space. The measures being taken — dedicated bus lanes, road closures, parking bans — are not merely logistical; they are a society's attempt to hold order at the threshold of the extraordinary.
