Named after Spain's first democratically elected prime minister after the Franco era, Madrid-Barajas is Spain's busiest airport and a critical link between Europe and Latin America, reflecting deep historical and linguistic ties across the Atlantic. Its Terminal 4, designed by Richard Rogers, is known for its undulating bamboo-lined roof and rainbow-colored structural columns that help travelers orient themselves. It's the primary hub for Iberia and a key partner airport in the Oneworld alliance's transatlantic network.
