A meeting between the Pope and the Royal Family took place, with some notable attendees missing. The former president and the lehendakari were among those who did not attend. Only a few political groups were represented, including PP, PSOE, Vox, and UPN.

The meeting included some special touches, such as a surprise choir performance and a gift of Asturian food. Further details about the encounter are available from El Mundo, including the circumstances of the Pope's arrival and other elements of the meeting.
