The following day the royal family will attend mass in Plaza de Cibeles, expected to draw around one million people.
On Monday, June 8, Queen Sofía will join a tribute at Almudena Cathedral, while the King and Queen will attend mass at Barcelona's Sagrada Familia basilica on June 10. The visit ends on June 12 with the farewell ceremony at Tenerife Norte airport, attended by Queen Sofía.
