Then, how can I work legally in Spain?
Once the EU Blue Card work/residence permit is granted, you must apply to the Spanish consulate or embassy in your home country for a visa. You'll need your passport, medical certificate, no criminal record certificate and a copy of the job contract. When you have the visa, you have three months to come to Spain.
Similarly, is it hard to get a job in Spain? It's better to rip off the Band-Aid, so here goes: getting gainful employment when you don't hold an EU passport, ie jobs for Americans in Spain, can be difficult, though not impossible. It's a common misconception that teaching English is the only job you can get in Spain.
Beside this, do I have the right to work in Spain?
While EU citizens do not need a work permit, most non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizens will need a work permit to work in Spain, but there are some exceptions, such as family members of people who already have a work visa or scientists or researchers who have come to work on a specific project.
