Older Spanish man going around India (6)
I believe the answer is:
senior
'older' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'spanish man going around india' is the wordplay.
'spanish man' becomes 'senor' (I've seen this before).
'going around' indicates putting letters inside.
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'senor' placed around 'i' is 'SENIOR'.
(Other definitions for senior that I've seen before include "Older in years or higher in rank" , "Elder (of two)" , "Higher in rank or age" , "Higher in status" , "Pupil in a higher form" .)
