What is the Spanish for a “tile”? I have found two words while researching – azulejo and teja. Are they exactly the same thing or difference? And if they are really synonymous, are there any regional/dialectical variations around their usage? Thanks for your help!

As far as I know ...

Teja: roof tile

Azulejo: wall tile

Baldoza: floor tile
