  1. I really like Spain's option for freelancers. They have both a non-lucrative visa and a work visa that might work well for someone like me. I prefer the non-lucrative visa option since it's easier to obtain. But, you're right, they can smash you with taxes and bureaucracy, 20% in Spain plus forced payments into social security, etc.

  2.  @eliseumds  I didn't get it myself, I just did a lot of research into it because I love Barcelona. I think there are good options out there, but as Andrew pointed out, the taxes and bureaucracy, etc led me towards a different route for now. It might be something I reapproach in the future. That being said, it seems pretty straightforward if you contact the Spanish embassy near you they will explain. I didn't see much need for an agency or a lawyer when I was researching it, but they could save time for sure.
