The Spanish artist entering Charlie's heavenly place (2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

el dorado

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

'heavenly place' is the definition.
'el dorado' can be an answer for 'place' (I have seen 'fabulous place' mean 'el dorado' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'el dorado'). I'm unsure of the 'heavenly' bit.

'the spanish artist entering charlie's' is the wordplay.
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'artist' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'entering' is an insertion indicator.
'charlie' becomes 'dodo' (both can mean a foolish person).
'ra' going into 'dodo' is 'dorado'.
'el'+'dorado'='EL DORADO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for el dorado that I've seen before include "Land of great wealth" , "Fabled city of gold" , "Imaginary place of great wealth in South America" , "A doodler in fabled land of gold" , "Supposed city of riches" .)
