The visit of Pope León XIV to Spain has begun, with the Pope receiving a welcome at the Adolfo Suárez-Madrid Barajas Airport. The reception was attended by the King and Queen, as well as other authorities. Queen Letizia made a notable fashion choice for the occasion, wearing a floral dress that she had previously worn.

This choice is significant as it extends the traditional privilege of wearing white, typically reserved for visits to the Vatican, to a different setting. Further details about the visit and the reception are available from the source, El Mundo.
