Absent Asians set out for Spanish city (3,9)
I believe the answer is:
san sebastian
'for spanish city' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'absent asians set' is the wordplay.
'set' is an anagram indicator (instruction to set the letters).
'absent'+'asians'='absentasians'
'absentasians' is an anagram of 'SAN SEBASTIAN'.
'out' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for san sebastian that I've seen is " Port".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
