Do I need to do passport control?
AIUI the only airports in the UK with "airside transit" are Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester. At all others you will have to pass through passport control.
Do I need a visa?
Presently you do not need a Visa or other advance authorization to transit through the UK or to visit the UK for tourism or buisiness.
However the UK is in the process of introducing an "Electronic Travel Authorisation" similar to the US ESTA or Candian ETA. The law enabling ETAs has passed parliment, but afaict the precise details of the system (including exactly when it will be introduced) have not been confirmed yet.
Am I allowed to leave the airport?
Yes.

There’s a lot of information about travelling to the UK here: https://www.gov.uk/uk-border-control
As a Spanish citizen you can enter the UK with a passport, which should be valid for the whole of your stay. You do not need a visa to transit in the UK (nor do you need one for tourist trips of up to 6 months).
You will need to clear Immigration and Customs on arrival, reclaim your baggage, then check in as normal in time for your onward flight. Stansted is open 24/7, according to https://www.stanstedairport.com/at-the-airport/airport-facilities/ Late night facilities may be limited https://www.sleepinginairports.net/guides/london-stansted-airport-guide.htm
