Do i need a Documento Nacional de Identida to work in spain?

Answer 1

Officially No.

...but...

You´ll quickly find that associating your passport with a number from the Seguridad social (this you must have) is a pain and most companies / employers will not be too impressed if you turn up with your passport.

They will of course accept it if you are in the process of obtaining an NIE - Numero de Identidad de extranjeros. A DNI is only for Spanish citizens.
