Flying Continental and Vueling.

Create a how to, must do, and desire to list.
Start with the sights, divide into areas, decide approximate times needed for each, hopefully schedule realistic dates and times. Remember to include every food and drink venue per scheduled area.
Define musts and separate from desires. Leave time for meandering which includes getting lost before finding the treasure.
