It's significant that the Prime Minister and the Catalan President visit at the same time.
The present Zapatero government with its' Socialist Workers Party majority is much more favourable towards Catalunya, and its aspirations to become independent, than the last Aznar lead right wing government.
Spanish history/politics mean that any recognition of Catalunya by Madrid is a sign of progress.
