'whence in india you' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'go to central spain' is the wordplay.
'to central' means to look at the middle letters.
The middle of 'spain' is 'a'.
'go'+'a'='GOA'

'can' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for goa that I've seen before include "Region of India" , "Indian state, formerly Portuguese" , "State of SW India" , "Indian resort" , "Former Portuguese colony on India's west coast" .)
