Cannot tell for Spain, but I assume it's similar to neighbouring countries like France. Compared to the united state, it's a much more equal society, which means unlike the US, you won't make 15 times what a barista is making. I'd assume salaries to be around 40, 50k euro at best.

Now that can be enough to make a decent living, have your own flat etc. but it's not, "let's go on holiday to the other side of the world twice a year" sort of money either.

Also there is much less a culture of senior developers, the idea being that to progress in your career you need to stop coding and start being a manager (not true everywhere but the norm)

Yeah, that's why salaries are so low.

What's Messi make again?
