Isabella I was Queen of Castile and Leon. Her husband was Ferdinand II, King of Aragon. Together they presided over the final defeat of the Moors in Spain, The eviction of the Moors and the Jews, and the beginning of the Spanish Inquisition. She also financed Columbus' voyages of exploration.
Isabella and Ferdinand co-ruled the kingdoms of Castile, Leon, and Aragon. They consulted each other and ruled all three kingdoms with the same policies. Neither one ruled the kingdom(s) of the other. They never ruled Spain! Each one retained ownership(?) of their respective kingdoms. The kingdoms were not united under one monarch until their grandson, Charles I of Spain, inherited all 3 kingdoms. That occurred in 1516 with the death of Ferdinand II. Ferdinand's death placed all three them under one monarch. That was the beginning of the political entity of Spain as we know it today.

What did spanish settlers do in new Spain?
In the first few decades of the Spanish presence in the Caribbean, large numbers of Native Americans were enslaved and forced to work on Spanish projects. Columbus himself was infamous for the brutal way that he treated the Taíno people, the natives of Hispaniola island, forcing them into slave labor in the recently excavated mines. The work was so callous and so brutal that significant percentages of the Hispaniola Taíno population died from overwork and fellow Spaniards reported him to Queen Isabella, who was in turn so enraged at the conduct that she demanded that he return to Spain. (Remember that this is the same "humanitarian" Queen Isabella who is responsible for the Spanish Inquisition.)
The Native Americans in the Caribbean died in record numbers within decades of the Spanish arrival, primarily from foreign diseases, but also from overwork. The Spaniards needed a labor force to fill the lower rungs of the social ladder in order for the colonial expedition to be profitable. Since the enslavement of Africans was quite accepted in Spain due to the former Islamic rulers having African slaves and participating in the African Slave Trade, it was only natural for the Spaniards to expand this trade and begin to use Africans to replace the dying Natives.
First references to the name 'Catalonia' was in the 12th century, though the land was colonized far before that, BC even. There is also evidence of humans living in the land now known as Catalonia around 200,000 years ago

Strictly speaking, the Spanish Inquisition was designed to persecute Christian heretics, people who were believed to be following Christianity improperly. However, most of the people accused of heresy were former Jews and Muslims who converted to Christian under threat of death. As a result, it is generally oversimplified to say that the Spanish Inquisition targeted JEWS AND MUSLIMS.
