The Spanish roofing tile is similar in appearance to the imbrex-and-tegula roof in that it uses curved, interconnected ceramic tiles for weatherproofing. It was, and continues to be, a hallmark of the fifteenth-century Santa Fe style of residential architecture.

Hi Jim, The clips are there to help stop the verge slates blowing off, the house was in a valley and had very strong winds there.
I can remember when we first started using Spanish slates about25yrs ago and we also had the problems your talking about, these were the best Spanish slates i have used and were the most expensive!.
Peter i think your talking about the Spanish tiles not slates.
Cheers
Dave
