Turnarounds on BA operated aircraft are pain free - no security checks and no passport control. Once you exit the air bridge follow the signs up to the mezzanine and towards flight connections. From there you enter the main departure area. You're visit to Madrid in the cozy confines of Barajas Terminal 4 Satellite.

Do not attempt to go landside. It is a long distance and can easily take over 30 minutes to return.
