Modernize Home explains, "Spanish tile" is a broad term used to describe a wide range of tiles with traditional Spanish and Mexican designs. Spanish tiles are so popular many customers will simply ask for them based solely on style without any specifications about their material, dimensions, and color.

If you are planning to use Spanish tile for a home project, take note that traditional Spanish tiles have a very special feature: they are handmade. These tiles can be manufactured from clay and ceramics. This means homeowners have wider options in terms of the durability, strength, and longevity of the roof tiles after installation. Keep in mind that traditional Spanish and Mexican designs usually involve an explosion of colors and shapes. Think of star bursts in various shades of red, blue, and yellow; flowers with abstract petals spreading outward; and geometric patterns reminiscent of the baroque churches of Spain and Mexico. Wherever Spanish tiles are used, they can add lively color and a unique ambiance. Spanish tiles are made in an amazing array of patterns and colors."

Hand-painted tiles are also perfect for covering the risers on a staircase or the walls of a patio. Left-over tiles make excellent coasters and trivets. Made in Mexico.
