There are various ways to install Spanish style tiles. One way is what you
said.
Another way - better, IMO - is to nail the first course then mortar the
rest. Mortar holds them very nicely to 90# roofing that has been hot mopped
on. The result is a roof with no nail penetrations (and no 1x2s to rot)
that will last for decades.
