There really is no Roman Catholic Church in Spain. It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. The events were the preaching of the Gospel by early Christians, perhaps St. James, St. Paul, we are not sure, only that there is evidence of Christian Churches through Spain through the first three centuries.

Paganism and Pagan Survivals in Spain up to the Fall of the Visigothic Kingdom
by Stephen McKenna The exact year in which Christianity came to Spain is a question that is impossible to settle from the extant evidence. (160) There is no solid historical foundation for the claim that St. James preached the Gospel in Spain about the year 44 A.D. In his epistle to the Romans St. Paul had expressed the desire to evangelize Spain, (161) and it seems probable from the words of St. Clement of Rome (c. 90 A. D.) (162) and the Muratonian Fragment (c. 200 A.D.) that he actually carried this plan into effect. But if so there is nothing known about the place or the success of his labors. The story that SS. Peter and Paul sent seven missionaries to Spain is purely legendary. There are references to the existence of Christian churches in Spain in the writings of Irenaeus (163) and Tertullian, (164) both of whom wrote between the years 180 and 200 A.D., but evidence for the places in which Christianity was actually practiced comes only in the middle of the third century.
