Caracas local finishing with this flair (4)
I believe the answer is:
elan
'this flair' is the definition.
(synonyms)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elan that I've seen before include "Verve and dash" , "Vigour, style, enthusiasm" , "fizz" , "Stylish verve" , "Dash in French lane" .)
