Very few proper jobs in Spain for trades. You would have to go self employed / Autonomo, but this is costly as you have to have private healthcare insurance.
The problem is you will need to find the work. Not having conversational Spanish will limit your options.
You will need a bucketload of savings as a fall back as it is unlikely you will get enough work to cover your living costs.
Thanks for the reply is there anything else I could do bar bar work?

5e per hour mate and usually casual and not legal.
These jobs are in demand and given to friends first.
Living in Spain and earning enough to cover your living costs is a bit of a pipe dream.
