You can any amount of days split as you wish for 90 days then yes you have to be out of the zone for 90 days. So you have 6 months of the year in visa free and 6 months out you can also apply for a non lucrative visa which means that you can stay for 12 months , this visa is renewable

It’s a rolling 90/180 day window. Because the window is moving during your stay  it’s possible that days from your past trip start to drop out of it. This app here explains it in detail. https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/schengen-calculator-90-180/id1054807221

Hi, I am planning to come to caleta de fuste beginning start of august for 3 months with a hope to eventually relocate there. I would be looking for a job if possible, if anyone knows of anything available I would love to hear about them. I have a very good work ethic and would do any hours. I hope to hear something, thank you.

...pe to hear something, thank you.

If this is possible for you depends entirely on what nationality you are. If you are a citizen of an EU country, then the procedure to move here is relatively simple. Your main problem would be in securing employment, as unemployment here is high and wages are low.

However, if you are a British citizen (or of another third country) then I'm afraid that's an entirely different matter.  First off you would need a visa, and a visa that allows you to work can be difficult to obtain. 

The best visa would be the so-called 'Golden Visa', which allows you to live here, work here and come and go as you please.  However, to qualify for that you must invest at least 500,000€ in a property. 

The next easiest visa to obtain is the Non-Lucrative visa, but you are not allowed to work at all and must prove finances of over 28,000€ plus have expensive health insurance (just the basics of the requirements). 

There is a self-employed visa, but hard to get and you must have a comprehensive business plan that will satisfy the authorities that it would work and you would not be a liability to the nation.

The employment visa is very difficult to get.  Basically, you must first be offered a job, but your proposed employer must prove to the authorities that the position can not be fulfilled by a local or EU citizen first.  If they can do that then they must complete paperwork to apply for a visa for you.  As I understand, very few will do that as they don't want the hassle of all the complicated paperwork.
