Hola Madrid Stopover Boosts Tourism

The Hola Madrid stopover programme, increasingly popular among Latin American travellers, allows passengers to stay in Madrid for up to nine nights at no extra cost, with discounts on hotels, food, transport, and activities.

Celebrating 80 years since its first Atlantic crossing, Iberia’s 2025 expansion reflects its deepening commitment to the Latin American market and its role as a key connector between the regions.
