 Daily news from the Canaries and the islands' biggest English language newspaper on-line Islands claim bullfight ban 'first' Yesterday's headline-making decision by Catalonia to outlaw bullfighting in the region as of 2012 has prompted a flurry of media reminders here that the Canaries were the first part of Spain to ban the sport.  Canary Islands - 29.07.2010 - No bullfights have been staged here since 1983, although the actual legislation that halted them formally was not passed until the early 1990s. Santa Cruz de Tenerife's bullring still exists but has been used to host various events unrelated to bullfighting since then. The ban here was much less controversial than in Catalonia given the considerably smaller following and the reluctance of bullfight organisers to cover the costs of shipping bulls for fights. Yesterday's decision by the Catalan Parliament has received prominent billing in the world media today.
