The Spanish still travel abroad, bagging hotels at the last minute (8-4)

'at the last minute' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the spanish still travel abroad bagging hotels' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
'still' could be 'even' (synonyms) and 'even' is located in the answer.
'hotels' could be 'hh' (two H's - Hotel is H in the phonetic alphabet) and 'hh' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
