I've sent a CV to an advertisement I found very interesting. How long should I wait until I call to check up if they've received it and if they're interested of offering me the possibility of an interview?

Hello, usually, you should wait at least a week before you check your status, but there are some situations: like if the job advertisement says the recruiting period is of 20 days, you cannot begin asking what happens with you after a week, you know? You could sound pushy...
But you can just call after a week to asked them whether they have received your resume (that's if you sent it via e-mail or post, not if you delivered it yourself).

After a week. And in the meantime you should continue applying for other jobs.
