Drags around the Spanish cloths (6)
I believe the answer is:
towels
'cloths' is the definition.
(towel is a kind of cloth)
'drags around the spanish' is the wordplay.
'drags' becomes 'tows' (towing is a kind of dragging).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'tows' placed around 'el' is 'TOWELS'.
(Other definitions for towels that I've seen before include "Absorbent cloths for owlets" , "Driers" , "Drying cloths for owlets" .)
