costa brava

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

'where tourists go' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'order cava and roast beef starter' is the wordplay.
'order' is an anagram indicator.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'starter' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'beef' is 'b'.
'cava'+'roast'+'b'='cavaroastb'
'cavaroastb' with letters rearranged gives 'COSTA BRAVA'.

'to' is the link.
