African city with more piquancy? (7)
I believe the answer is:
tangier
'african city' is the definition.
'Tangier' can be an answer for 'city' (city in Morocco). I'm not certain of the 'african' bit.
'more piquancy?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'piquancy?' could be 'tang' ('tang' can be a synonym of 'piquancy') and 'tang' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ier' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tangier that I've seen before include "Moroccan seaport opposite Gibraltar" , "with more piquant flavour" , "More piquant - Moroccan port" , "Rather spicy" , "Granite city just opposite Gibraltar" .)
