I know this forum tends to be a bit inactive, so I don't know if you are still interested in Number 16 school. I was thinking about a return to Spain but was unsure, so I decided to check out the negative aspects.
I googled "Warnings Against Teaching English in Spain", "Complaints About Spain" and so on, and one thing that came up was Number 16 School in Zaragoza! a guy had worked there and he said that while the classes were all at least inside the school, the work environment was ghastly. He left after a few months because he was having to work extremely long days, more than 30 teaching hours per week. People tended to leave or were given the sack after a month or two and it was demoralizing. One point he made was that the school just relied on a ready supply of tourists to fill vacancies when staff left.
