While invited guests entered the designated area near the Sagrada Família, thousands of citizens congregated in the surroundings, some arriving hours early to secure a prime spot on Rosselló street.

Some residents voiced their frustration over the disruptions caused by traffic closures and security measures. "I'm trying to get home and there's no way," lamented a resident from Lepant street, while another could not access her home once the perimeter was closed: "Half my family is on the balcony and now I'll have to watch the Pope from here."

Conversely, the papamobile's passage was a pleasant surprise for some devout residents. "I knew there would be closures but I never imagined it would pass right by here, I'm very happy," explained a neighbor from her balcony. Others experienced it as a family anecdote: "After seeing how the street filled up and how they prepared everything, now it's a bit amusing."

Finally, the papamobile proceeded along Rosselló street towards the Sagrada Família. The rapid passage evoked mixed feelings: "It goes by so fast you don't even have time to see him properly," lamented one resident. Another expressed a desire to "hear him closer."
