tiled gable roof
Explanation:
I think the "cubierta de" should be included in the term. The answer to "techo a dos aguas" and "cubierta a dos aguas" has already been given through KudoZ. I think this is just saying that the gable roof is tiled.

agree  psicutrinius: Certainly. What is "a dos aguas" is the "cubierta" which is topped with "tejas", but these are not (cannot be) "a dos aguas"

  -> Thanks, but I don't really see the problem over teja (perhaps I am being dense). The first part seems to be a 3 part general description with the detail and interest in the "artesonado de estilo mudejar"
