(90 minutes between the two sets of flights in Madrid - not enough time to receive bags, recheck them for the onward connection.)

Advice is most appreciated.
AA does not through check bags on separate PNR's. Been that way since 2016

You will have to do immigration, pick up bags and check-in for the next flight
