Law/Spain section should be re-written[edit]

Hey folks, my attention got captured by recent edits in the section, with a small (so far) edit-warring whether to call Catalonia as a Spanish region (the formula hated by Catalan nationalists) or an autonomous community (which sounds better for some, making it sound less Spanish). Turns out, entire section is poorly written now, with its intro speaking about Catalonia, then jumping to Canary Islands which were first to ban bullfighting in 1991, then jumping back to Catalonia and essentially repeating the intro. I suggest the entire section to be reworked in chronological order, speaking about Canary Islands stuff first, then going into Catalonia situation. With regards to how call it, I think the formulation in the current Catalonia sub-section is the best compromise, which calls it one of Spain's seventeen Autonomous Communities - perhaps it sounds better for pro-Catalans than calling it straight Spanish, but still hints that currently Catalonia is a region of Spain, which is good to know to make sense of the follow up text, describing how Spanish courts overruled the ban.
