A sundial fixed by artisan initially in part of Spain (9)
I believe the answer is:
andalusia
'part of spain' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a sundial fixed by artisan initially' is the wordplay.
'fixed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'initially' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'artisan' is 'a'.
'sundial' with letters rearranged gives 'ndalusi'.
'a'+'ndalusi'+'a'='ANDALUSIA'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for andalusia that I've seen before include "Hot region" , "Costa del Sol region" , "Spain's southernmost region" , "Seville's region" , "Laud Asian found in southern part of Spain" .)
