The Spanish woman seen before party in place of riches (8)
I believe the answer is:
eldorado
'place of riches' is the definition.
'Eldorado' can be an answer for 'place' (mythical golden city). I'm not certain of the 'of riches' bit.
'the spanish woman seen before party' is the wordplay.
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'woman' becomes 'dora' ().
'seen before' says to put letters next to each other.
'party' becomes 'do' (do can informally mean a party).
'el'+'dora'+'do'='ELDORADO'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eldorado that I've seen before include "a place of great wealth" , "wealthy location" , "rich land, so many thought" , "source of wealth" , "city, apparently lost" .)
