Man of the manor, maybe, in Spain? (5)

I believe the answer is:

ramon

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

'spain?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'man of the manor maybe' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'ram'.
'of' becomes 'o'.
'the manor maybe' becomes 'n' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ram'+'o'+'n'='RAMON'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
