Absolutely!!

It is possible to learn any language without any tutor whatsoever. I've been learning several languages all by myself, including english, and I haven't have the need of a tutor.

Of course, teaching yourself is not something easy, you need to be constant and organised, otherwise it will be more difficult to you. You also need a good book of grammar and a bilingual dictionary. Spanish is quite popular, so I think you will not have any problem to find those books. You can go to amazon.com to shop on line. It's a great page, and quite safe.

I'd advise you against learning spanish from the net. I mean, you can use the forums, web pages etc. to complement what you learn from a grammar book, but do not use the net as your primary source of learning. I did it when I was learning korean, and it was really difficult.

The links Paco gave to you are quite useful, so give them a try.

mm.. if you are an organized person not at all. You can buy a book with solutions and then, watch Spanish movies and so on.. But, it's better to have a tutor at least once per week.

I do believe that learning Spanish by you isn't impossible, but you might have some problems with pronunciation!
Any way good luck =)

I think you can master reading, writing, grammar and listening on your own, though you should need a tutor for speaking and pronounciation.
There are still some video resources and tutorials on Inet about on rolling-R's and things like, but a tutor will help you in correcting any specific mistakes more quickly.
Watching movies is somewhat useful, as long as you are not picking up too much informal/slang pronounciation.

Yes it is possible but, to get an advanced level of English you will need to practice it with another person more advanced in speaking skills than you.
