For a short haul flight it is a little rich from IB to try to charge frequent fliers to seat there I believe. I rather select BA and seat on the emergency exit for free in that case.
Have seen IB make row 7 "XL" even though the J-type seats end at row 6, and R7 gets reclined into but can't recline.
https://www.iberia.com/es/seat-reservation/ also shows r15-18 as XL, I don't think those really have more legroom?
A bit of miselling...
