Unless you already have a valid work visa, finding good jobs in Spain is going to be hard. Regardless of their qualifications, EU passport holders are always preferred to non EU citizens as they represent less hustle for the employer in terms of bureaucracy.
South American countries are definitely more viable if you are an American citizen. Requirements there area usually a degree (in any subject) + a TESL/TEFL certificate (but that’s not always a must).
Remember, though, that wherever you go the less you are asked in terms of qualifications, the less you'll get paid and the more unreliable your contract will be. Bear in mind that a teacher with a TESL/TEFL Certificate will always be preferred to a teacher without one.
