'spanish ridge?' is the definition.
'cuesta' can be an answer for 'ridge?' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'spanish' bit.

'sue act badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' is an anagram indicator.
'sue'+'act'='sueact'
'sueact' anagrammed gives 'CUESTA'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for cuesta that I've seen is " ridge".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
