Crossword Genius

In song, left me in a Spanish port (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

almeria

'a spanish port' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'in song left me' is the wordplay.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'song' becomes 'aria' (aria is a kind of song).
'left' becomes 'L' (common abbreviation).
'l'+'me'='lme'
'aria' enclosing 'lme' is 'ALMERIA'.

'in' is the link.

(Another definition for almeria that I've seen is " Spanish resort".)
