Spanish unit houses key cultural organisation (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unesco

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cultural organisation' is the definition.
(UN cultural organisation)

'spanish unit houses key' is the wordplay.
'spanish unit' becomes 'uno' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'houses' is an insertion indicator.
'key' becomes 'esc' ('Escape' key on a computer keyboard).
'uno' going around 'esc' is 'UNESCO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unesco that I've seen before include "Body passing motions" , "United Nations agency to promote education etc" , "international group" , "World cultural and educational organisation" , "International agency -- no cues (anag)" .)
