A little Spanish resort (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spa

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'resort' is the definition.
(spa is a kind of resort)

'a little spanish' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'spanish' could be 'sp' and 'sp' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for spa that I've seen before include "Where people go for spring" , "Health resort at a mineral spring" , "town in Belgium" , "Water source" , "town for his health!" .)
