AA flies BCN-JFK/MIA. But if those flights don't show up on an award search, then they (and/or the connecting flight to LAX) are unavailable.

IB flies BCN-MAD-(various U.S. gateways). Call AA and ask about availability on IB. (If you can find MAD-XXX-LAX availability on aa.com, then all you need is the IB BCN-MAD segment.)
Should be able to get the MAD-ORD flight if you're marginally flexible. IB also runs flights to JFK and MIA as guv mentioned. But ORD-LAX awards look pretty easy to find in early December. The BCN-MAD should be no problem at all. Yeah, it's 2 stops, but at 20K miles, it's tough to beat.
