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.

Are you sure that your flight leaves from T4s?}
Normally all Air Nostrum flights leave from T4 from the K gates numbered in the high eighties.

Since you don't pass through passport control into the main area of T4S, you can't use Velazquez.

As long as OP can exit and reenter the Schengen Area, I don’t see why she could not go through exit passport control, stay at Velázquez lounge, and then return via arrival passport control back to the M gates. This would be allow better time management than having to leave Dalí and take the transit to T4S IMO.

And that's assuming the lounge dragon lets you into Velazquez when you aren't entitled to use it...

I don't think you have to go back to T4 main - after arrivals immigration at T4S, I believe that after the lifts, and after the escalators down, there's another escalator down to M gates (via a security checkpoint). I vaguely remember seeing that as I was curious, never had to use it...
