Spanish American community in sun-dried brick-built houses (6)

I believe the answer is:

pueblo

(Other definitions for pueblo that I've seen before include "Old communal village in Mexico or Spanish America" , "Mexican settlement" , "American Indian; town" , "Prehistoric communal Native American culture" , "Small town in SW US" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
