Iberia lounges at MAD Madrid-Barajas (T4/T4S)

Departure lounges
Iberia Premium Lounge Dalí
Located in T4 immediately after security at Level 2, if departing or connecting to Schengen, IB operated London bound flights (A330/A350 excluded) or domestic flights: it is a decent lounge with free food, drinks and showers. Open 06:00 to 23:00.

Iberia Premium Lounge Velázquez
Open daily 06:00 to 01:00
Located in T4S (Zone "S") at Level 1 at the edge of the duty free store. Open 24 hours, for departures to non-Schengen and long haul flights; self-serve food, drinks, wine bar (Rincón del vino), restaurant w/ limited hours, targeted to departing intercontinental overnight Iberia flyers.
Lunch buffet 14:00 – 16:30, Dinner 21:00 onwards, Bistro 21:00 - 00:30
When you exit the lounge and make your way to your departure gate, veer left through the duty free store. You can use Starbucks as a visual cue. If you veer right, you will end up in a cul-de-sac.
Arrivals lounge
Sala de Llegadas
Located in the main T4 arrivals hall at level -1. The lounge is equipped with showers and a breakfast room.
This is not a oneworld lounge. Access is provided free of charge to business class passengers who have arrived on an Iberia operated flight of more that 4 hours. Iberia Plus Platinum, Gold, and Singular members may also use the lounge provided they have also arrived on an Iberia operated flight of more than 4 hours. Paid entrance is also available
Lounge hopping
Terminal 4 and 4S are joined by a subterranean train; it is unlikely to lounge hop as the gatekeepers are rather strict about using the appropriate lounge.

The way I understand the changes are you can still choose but have to pay if it's economy. I booked an AA explorer award in Business and it let me chose for free.

They will open an arrivals lounge in March
Among the most notable changes to the Business class is opening in March VIP lounge for relaxation and comfort of their clients which will be located on the -1 floor of Terminal 4 at Barajas Airport and is only available to customers company:
"We opened this room, especially designed for our intercontinental customers, in order that they can shower, change clothes or breakfast before heading out to the city,"

All - flying JFKMADVCE return in a few weeks. Connection is 6 hours en route to Venice, so plan is to quickly hit Arrivals and then head into the city for a bite. Connection on the return is 2.5 hours, obviously insufficient to leave the airport but also a bit long to remain in a lounge. If willing to exit security, any restaurant/wine bar recommendations? I realize this isn't strictly a lounge-related question...or is it? Let me put it differently - if I want better food and wine than what's offered in the lounge, and don't mind paying, what do you recommend?

If you like Sushi I'd strongly recommend Kabuki restaurant airside at T4 J gates, might be pricey but really worth it.

Lounge access yes. This is Europe so I don't recall any fast track security it is much more relaxed than the USA.

By the way, the Velasquez lounge in T4S was very nice. My only negative comment was that they didn't start serving a hot breakfast until 9:00 (before that it was just drinks and sandwiches and fruit and yogurt). Not that I needed it since I had breakfast in my hotel rate but if one was counting on something before an early flight to the east coast....
Plenty of space (it felt like it was several hundred meters long) and lots of seating in groups. All in all a very nice lounge.

I used Velasquez for the first time before outbound longhaul a few days ago and was very impressed, I thought it had a great evening meal offering and was very nicely laid out. Definitely the best lounge in Europe that I've been to. I was back again there this morning on return journey and thought that the breakfast offering was not quite so good- overall though superb.
