The parliament of Catalonia is 'the first region of mainland Spain to do so'. [BBC]...but will it be the last? Unlikely now although, as the Beeb article says, many believe the process has been pushed by nationalist-minded Catalans to set themselves apart from Spain.

Catlonia is an interesting place to be right now, communists and fascists marching together, Barca paying their ways in two big chunks and going into debt, bully becoming a protected species.
To be honest I don't have a strong opinion on bullfighting although as I've said before I do own two of those knives that get stuck in at the end but they were presents rather than something I purchased myself.
Thanks for all your comments paul and I hope you had a bood break (I think...or was the Paris trip earlier?)
I went to a few bullfights, the last was years ago, and it cemented my opinion against. If it were one-on-one then maybe (I know the end is one-on-one but by then the bull is severely hamstrung (not literally!) . There are perfectly entertaining alternatives that take more skill and don't kill the bull.
Lots going on? Yep, the athletics has been great (may do a post tonight, GB should finish second but could be pipped by France...that baton could prove costly!) although not brilliantly attended by the public.
