No you can't, you will need a visa especially because of the EU membership of Spain which only provides working visa exemption to other EU countries. As a Chilean citizen, you could stay in Spain without a visa up to 3 months but you could not legally work. It is only good for tourists. "Spain Visa Information Spain does not apply any restrictions on the access to its labour market by citizens of other EEA countries including citizens of new EU member countries ( Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia) If You Are From A Country That Is Not A European Member You Must Obtain A Work Visa Or Permit To Work In Spain" http://www.anyworkanywhere.com/visas_es.html

No, you need to find a job where employer can sponsor your work permit & then u need work visa per given work permit. Only EU citizens can work in Spain without restrictions.

Maybe not because there is no work in Spain. The unemployment rate is 7.6% with about 20% under the poverty line and both are getting worse. The unemployment rate in Chile is 7% with about 18% under the poverty line. Probably the closest place with a decent chance to find work is Mexico.
