Ciudad Real is 55 minutes from Madrid by expensive high-speed train; Terminals 1-2-3 at Barajas are roughly 12 minutes and 2 euros from Madrid by metro.
On the other hand, the new airport at Castellon might look attractive to Ryanair, although I understand that Air Berlin recently announced that it has no plans to serve it (unlike Ciudad Real).
I think Ryanair should also look at Salamanca. The domestic airfares to/from that city are truly gobsmacking!
