Salamanca

Hi
I want to go to Salamanca in a few weeks so I thought, no problem, I'll get a flight to Madrid seeing as it's the capital city of Spain and must be a popular destination. I couldn't find any direct flights whatsoever from Dublin. Ryanair flies once a day to Valladolid from London Stansted, but the flight into Stansted doesn't arrive until after the one out to Valladolid has already left. Easyjet go to Madrid from Belfast via Liverpool but those flights are quite expensive.
Am I missing something? Is there no easier way?

I flew to Madrid last year, God my arms were tried after it.(only Joking )

Try Aer lingus I got a special offer last year only €150 return and they are still flying there.
They also fly direct to Alicante, Barcelona, Malaga, and Valencia. They share there flights with Iberia I think

Ryan air also fly to Malaga and somewhere near Barcelona
