Not great news Jack. The services you are discussing every man and his dog offers these services.
You would be entering a marketplace with limited opportunities and 100s of people vying for every single job.
If you had a unique skill/trade I would have been more positive.
Chances of sustaining a lifestyle based on potential income is close to zero.

Honest answer. So has everyone else Jack. Everyone in Spain can " turn their hand to anything".
I'm guessing you don't have conversational Spanish which would push you further back in the queue.
If you need to work to live here. Develop a new skill or offer which sets you apart from the 100s of others
