Contact the US Embassy

DangerNerd is correct. Going to or contacting the British Embassy for assistance will get them home. This is one of a primary function of the embassy.
Most likely what will happen is they will be interviewed, fill out a number of forms among them being a promise to repay the government the cost of the airfare home for the tickets the embassy will arrange for. Most likely the repayment will be in small amounts over a period of months.
The Embassy will also see to it that they have money for food and a place to stay until their plane leaves. The cost of this will be added to the plane fare and must be repaid to the Crown.
If for some reason your brother can not get to Madrid or cannot contact the Embassy you can start this process for him. You should call; I believe it is the Ministry of Affairs, In London. In the US it would be our State Department which I believe the British Ministry of Affairs is the opposite off. Ask for the Spain Desk or person responsible for Spain. Then tell them of the problem and just where in Spain your brother is.
They should be able to take the problem on from there. Just remember you are dealing with the government. Nothing happens quickly so is patient. If you need to you can call Ten Downing Street for help. If I thought I needed help from the White House I would not hesitate to call. I would not expect to speak with the president though there are people within the White House that are there to assist with these types of problems if they can. I would thing 10 Downing Street operates the same way.

Hi there,
Have them contact the British Embassy. The informatin is pasted below.
This is the best possible thing you can suggest they do. If they are truly trapped in Spain and wish to return, they will likely arrange to send them home as soon as possible.
I suggest that they start by calling and talking to someone there. An e-mail might get lost in the shuffle, and they have no time to waste.
If they happen to be in, or very near, Madrid, they should go there in person and explain.
I wish them the best.
