I'll be hooking up with a tour of religious travelers/singers and take advantage of their guides and bookings but would appreciate any suggestions for can't-miss places to eat.
There are more flights in general between NYC and Madrid than NYC-BCN as Iberia has 2 flights a day; also American is suspending its JFK-BCN flight after Labor Day until next year due to delays in deliveries of Boeing aircraft.
can’t yet recommend sights or restaurants in Zaragoza but hope to remedy with a visit from Barcelona in coming months!
