MAD ticket with LA)
The ECJ has ruled (I think it was Emirates, and more recently United) that if pax has a connecting ticket departing the EU, whole trip to the final destination falls under the EC261/2004 - so cancellation/denied boarding at GRU would be subject to it too, when connecting from MAD-GRU.
