Cab door being slammed in the city (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cordoba

'the city' is the definition.
(Cordoba is a city in Spain)

'cab door being slammed' is the wordplay.
'being slammed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cab'+'door'='cabdoor'
'cabdoor' anagrammed gives 'CORDOBA'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for cordoba that I've seen before include "spending unit in Nicaragua" , "Moorish city" , "City in southern Spain and Spanish explorer" , "Spanish destination" , "ready for Nicaragua?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
