Well-equipped resort in a foreign land (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spain

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

'land' is the definition.
(I know that Spain is a European country)

'well-equipped resort in a foreign' is the wordplay.
'well equipped resort' becomes 'sp' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'foreign' indicates an anagram (foreign order of the letters).
'in'+'a'='ina'
'ina' with letters rearranged gives 'ain'.
'sp'+'ain'='SPAIN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for spain that I've seen before include "Crazy pains?" , "European country" , "country of mostly dry mountains, going by air" , "Catholic country" , "European monarchy" .)
