No. My husband is Domincan and when he has UK visa and we go there via Madrid, he and I get separated at Madrid airport. After we have left the plane from Santo Domingo he is taken off and has to wait (somewhere) and then boards the plane to England and I go through the normal channels and board the plane. He cannot come with me as I go into international departures and they sort of arrest him (and the kids) but then put them on the plane!! It was a bit traumatic the first time but now we are used to it. At the check in for the plane to England I refuse to board until they confirm to me that he is on board the plane. It works!!
So no transit visa required but expect to be separated in Madrid.
