Draw on the Spanish cloth (5)
I believe the answer is:
towel
'cloth' is the definition.
(towel is a kind of cloth)
'draw on the spanish' is the wordplay.
'draw' becomes 'tow' (tow is a kind of draw).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'the spanish' becomes 'el'.
'tow'+'el'='TOWEL'
(Other definitions for towel that I've seen before include "Piece of absorbent cloth or paper for drying" , "Drier" , "This could dry up" , "what sweater needs?" , "Bathroom cloth" .)
