Crossword Genius

A gust blows around Lisbon's river (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tagus

'lisbon's river' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a gust blows' is the wordplay.
'blows' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'gust'='agust'
'agust' with letters rearranged gives 'TAGUS'.

'around' is the link.

(Other definitions for tagus that I've seen before include "Longest river of Iberian peninsular" , "currently moving through SW Europe?" , "Portuguese river flowing to sea near Lisbon" , "Current" , "European river" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
