Hi. Have two clues which I don’t get the wordplay for. The answers are correct.

11a. Drama on a bed in Barcelona. Answer PLAYA. I get Drama=play + “a”. Thought that Playa meant beach, not bed. If so is there some other reason for the “bed in Barcelona”?

5d. More work needed for perfect location. Answer UTOPIA. I get the perfect location, but cannot see where “More work needed” comes in. “Op” is often work, but that would leave me with “utia”. I’m missing something!

Thanks in advance.
