Health resort in the country (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spain

'the country' is the definition.
(Spain is an example)

'health resort in' is the wordplay.
'health resort' becomes 'spa' (spa can mean a health resort).
'spa'+'in'='SPAIN'

(Other definitions for spain that I've seen before include "Madrid is its capital" , "Iberian 4" , "Kingdom" , "Crazy pains?" , "holiday destination?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent and The Globe and Mail.
