Given the type of plane, I asumme there is one or even 2 stops. It would be good to know where those stops are and for how long.

Probably in the middle of the sea, and very, very long. I would never fly in a Tupolev.

Why don't you like Tupolev, it was a best plane of its era when Boeing and Airbus were still dreaming.

offers a special fare for DEC 9 flight P Cana - Madrid, total is 203 USD one way.

Are you sure about that price ?

When I click it doesn't give me the same, and i'm actually interested in any cheap direct flights between the D-R and Spain.

Ok, now . I think you can say good things about the Tupolev without making comparisons, specially to one of the most popular and safest aircrafts ever built.
Tupolev 134 built: 850
Boeing 737 built: 7,200.

...so mucht for safety stats. By the way, the T134 is a good aircraft, no doubt about it. But its natural competitor would be a Boeing 727 or a DC-9, not a 737. But at 200 bucks, it's about half regular price, so I would take it if I needed to go to Spain on a budget.
