The students will line the streets to see the Pope as he travels from
the Lavacolla Airport to the Cathedral of Santiago.
The Archdiocese of
Santiago has said that the public is free to greet the Pope as he makes
the seven-mile journey in the popemobile.
Specific areas along the motorcade route have been designated for
various groups, including a section for those from other
Spanish dioceses, sections for various parishes of Santiago and a
section for 3,000 students who will welcome the Pope to the city.
The Holy Father is scheduled to arrive at the Lavacolla Airport at
11:30 a.m. local time, where he will be greeted by the Prince and
Princess of Asturias and the Archbishop of Santiago.
He will deliver his
first speech on the tarmac and then have a private meeting with the
prince and princess at the airport.
The following day, the Pope will visit Barcelona.
