SkyTeam airlines Air France, Delta, Alitalia, and KLM are selling cheap flights from Madrid and Barcelona to Mexico City and Monterrey. Sadly, luggage (23 kg) will cost roughly €100 extra for the roundtrip.
If you’re flying to Mexico City, depending on the airline you select, you’d either have a layover in Paris, Amsterdam, Rome or Atlanta. The cheapest option varies for different dates, but they tend to be less than €20 apart. This means that you’ll mostly be able to fly with the SkyTeam airline of your preference. Flights to Monterrey are only possible with Delta.
