You DO need a permit both for residence and for work; that's required for all of the European Union, and will be valid for ALL of the European Union. Some European countries have special regulations about that, so be careful. But once you're a legal immigrant to one of the EU states, you'll have little problems in other ones. (I say "little" because immigration laws vary from one EU country to the other. Please don't think the European Union is something like the USA, with federal states and "one nation" under whatever. We all speak different languages, and there are different legal rules in each country.)

You need a permit, and they are difficult to come by, as are jobs, these days. Spain just recently entered a recession. A lot depends, of course, on what you want to do. Here's a list of organizations that help place people in jobs. The good ones will place you, make sure you have a work permit, and help you locate housing (as in, they give you a list of housings, and you pick, interview, and decide on one or none and find your own, but they'll get you started.) I don't actually know any of these companies, I just did a search and kept the url. http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8&fr=slv8-hptb6&p=work%20in%20Spain&type=
