My Spanish isn't great but I have been looking through some Spanish news articles and they make for some interesting reading.
Looks like Ryanair and Easyjet plan to break into the Spanish domestic market, which is currently dominated by Iberia / Air Nostrum, Vueling and Spanair.
This article says that Ryanair have applied for a plethora of slots between Madrid and the Canary Islands

"Ryanair ha pedido una barbaridad de slots para unir Madrid con Canarias."
The next article says the Ryanair is considering offering a
number of domestic flights from Madrid from October!

"La compañía aérea de bajo coste Ryanair se ha hecho con los derechos (slots) para poner en marcha vuelos nacionales desde el aeropuerto de Madrid-Barajas a partir de octubre."
And here are some more articles on the Ryanair's possible introduction of Madrid to Granada:

As for Easyjet they may be intorducing Madrid to Lanzarote, and Madrid to Asturias.
It would be excellent to see Ryanair at Madrid
And also if they were to start operations from Madrid to the Canary Islands, we mightn't have to wait long before they start connecting to the islands from their other bases!
(Although Stockholm Skavsta or Prestwick may be too far from the Canary Islands? Ryanair are less interested in lengthy flights...)
