Draw the Spanish cloth (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

towel

'cloth' is the definition.
(I know that towel is a type of piece of cloth)

'draw the spanish' is the wordplay.
'draw' becomes 'tow' (both can mean to pull along).
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'tow'+'el'='TOWEL'

(Other definitions for towel that I've seen before include "Bathroom cloth" , "Dryer" , "Piece of absorbent cloth or paper for drying" , "Drier" , "Bathroom item" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
