Crossword Genius

In song, left me in a Spanish port (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

almeria

'a spanish port' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'in song left me' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'song' becomes 'aria' (piece of music in an opera).
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'l'+'me'='lme'
'aria' going around 'lme' is 'ALMERIA'.

'in' is the link.

(Another definition for almeria that I've seen is " Spanish resort".)
